Looks like a muscid to me - note the median vein is straight, which is very rare in tachinids

Thanks, muscid it is. Looking in the Muscidae gallery, there is only one fly looking like this - Thricops diaphanus. Are there other species it could be? Geir |

Phaonia pallida is very close in appearance, but Thricops diaphanus is the right ID here.
