 Sorry, but doesn't look like a Tachinidae.
What's more, the arista is longly plumose

So my bets are on Sarcophagidae.

IF you can provide a dorsal, we can be more sure

 Did you really check ?
It was just a suggestion from my part, I really cannot be sure from this one pic.

Bare hindcoxa should be a real important clue (filters out all Sarcophagini)
