Seems to have the "Peleteria bristles", so
Peleteria or
Deopalpus (tribe Tachinini).

Peleteria has thin palps.
Deopalpus has none. America has many Tachinini with modified palps, from as long as thorax to totally absent. Here is the North American long-palped species:

Palps are not visible I guess, so we may make it uncertain OK.
Thank you for your reaction John!
