Hello,

I would favour the idea of a parasit because it seems that the segments of the abdomen can't freely deploy, hindered by the balloons. This is noticeable on all Tephritids photos of the thread.

Its looks like the stylopized hymenoptera, where the parasit is more deeply in the abdomen, with only a small protrusion of a part of the body toward outside.
