Hi, Anthomyiidae is not far, check that it has huge bristles/spines on the abdomen, and it is more 'massive' in bodyform. Also, wing veinationis different. I'd say it's a Rhinophorid based on this blackish colour, these are flies that develope in Isopoda (Asseln). They resemble the other parasitic family called Tachinidae, so this may be a Tachinid after all. Change the title to Rhinophoridae/Tachinidae to attract specialists :)
