It looks very interesting but I can't see enough detail in thee photos. Do you have closer crops and perhaps other angles?

@Patrick: It's difficult to list exactly which parts we'd like to see - all and everything, in high resolution would be the ideal  Identifying tachinids isn't easy without a specimen under a microscope so the more help you can give, the better.@Theo: Bithia was on my list but it looks like one of the more unusual ones if it is ... I wasn't sure whether I could make out the yellow basicosta because the images are not very detailed.

Running it through Mosch Bithia is the most likely genus and, as it isn't spreta, it would probably need a specimen to go further
