When i saw the photo at first, i was thinking at Fanniidae, but it has hairs on the meron and M1 is upcurved,.....so, is it Tachinidae or....

If no postscutellum, I can suggest you to search around Eggisops pecchiollii ( an weird idea).

Yes, I think to a Calliphorid in Melanomyiinae because of the resemblance with female Melanomyia /Morinia, but I no longer think at Eggisops, maybe Angioneura ?
Could it be ?

I have looked at some Callip / Tachi...for the postscutellum, but a little difficult to see...looks more like Calliphoridae.

It certainly doesn't look like any tachinid I have seen ... but that's not a good guide ... if it has a subscutellum then it becomes very interesting Smile

The subscutellum should be a small, smoothly-rounded bulge under the scutellum. Don't be confused by the way that the thorax on all flies protrudes to where the abdomen attaches.

I took some photos that you might find useful here Smile

It is really something special.
I understand the suggestion of Angioneura.

I see relatively strong apical scutellar bristles, so I'm still in doubt.
I would really need to check the postscutellum myself.

Joke, would it be possible to send the specimen ?
If so, send me a PM for address

So I'd like to nominate Stephane for the best ID of the year,
I've seen the specimen just now and it is indeed, a female of Angioneura acerba.

Great find and great pictures, please submit to gallery
