Sorry, but doesn't look like a Tachinidae.
What's more, the arista is longly plumose

So my bets are on Sarcophagidae.

IF you can provide a dorsal, we can be more sure

Thank You Theo. I have the book and there is rainy days coming, so I try to get a name to it :)

Thank You Theo, we have a name. Everything matches ok with the description. I must say that finding the name was a lot easier this way :)

Did you really check ?
It was just a suggestion from my part, I really cannot be sure from this one pic.

Bare hindcoxa should be a real important clue (filters out all Sarcophagini)

I have the fly still under my microscope and Pape in left hand. Everything written in that book goes ok. Yes, hind coxa is bare.
