I suspect Tachinidae for a few reasons. 1. It looks weird. 2. Vein M is apparently forked, which is common in Oestroidea but I have never seen in Muscidae. 3. M ends nearer to R4+5 than in Muscidae, or it ends in R4+5. 4. It has long hairs on the rear end. |

This is clearly a Miltogramminae fly in the Sarcophagidae family. I suspect this is Metopia sp. Others to confirm.
