Yes, I had once more a closer look and Tachinidae it is. I must rename the thread but don't expect much from a fly in this condition.

It's quite interesting - even if it is a bit tiny and grey (like Actia or Phytomyptera). The second segment of the arista is very long though (like Triarthria but this doesn't have a lot of parafacial bristles), and it should be ringing alarm bells with me but I can't think what it might be Smile

could be many things from a small Meigenia to Paracraspedothrix.

Too much guessing even for my taste
