Who can help to identify this fly. I think it is not Tachina fera with this white face?

Hi Urs.
At least not Tachina fera.

The mouth-edge is strongly projecting and the basicosta seems pale - could it be a Linnaemyia sp. ? :)

It's a beautiful Peleteria, near Tachina.
Strong bristles on parafacialia near lower eye margin are characteristic.
Species is difficult to tell
