Rhinophorids are extremely rare in the oriental region, though they do exist. Therfore, this might be very interesting. That said, it can still be a weird Tachinid. I would need to check all kind of details, such as the postscutellum and the operculum of the lhind spiracle.

In other words: I would need to see the specimen “life”.

I am pretty sure this is Acamptomintho (Rhinophoridae)
