Wing looks like Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae.

Very nice - another Graphogaster perhaps but could this be female?

I had missed this post. Yes, not only looks exactly like the female of Graphogaster vestita but the characteristic discal bristles on T4 can be seen.

But I would be happier with Theo's opinion Wink
