I didn't think the post-scutellum was developed enough, and the big pulvilli made me think Sarco. It's not your regular sarco though.

I'm with Andre. The postscutellum is difficult to judge, from these pics. The head profile, on the other hand, is typical Dexiini (short antennae!) and therefore Tachinidae. Some Dexiini are remarkably like Sarcophagidae. Most likely genus Billaea, by the way. Theo |

Theo, It is just a guess but I must say that the wing venation remind me Sarcophagidae does Dexiini group has the same venation? |

The wing venation can be similar. In theold world, the head profile cannot: such large gena, short antennae and in general small eyes are hardly ever seen in Sarcophagidae. Theo |
