Not Stratiomyidae, the veins are not shifted forward. Another Orthorrhapha.

Thanks John I saw Diptera's key to Brazil again, and I was in doubt between Rhagionidae or Athericidae. I can't see the scaly elevation present just behind the posterior thoracic spiracle, which leads me to think about Rhagionidae

Maybe Xylophagidae.

I’m definitely not an expert in the neotropics, but I see for now no reason why it’s not Rhagionidae.

I don't know all the genera of South America. The antennae look wrong for Rhagio, Chrysopilus, and Austroleptis. Wing veins are wrong for Litoleptis.
