Not an anthomyiid, the calypters are too large and the wrong shape and the abdomen has many erect tergal setae. perhaps a tachinid?

Thanks Michael and Socrates! I'll change the title to attract the tachinid specialists.

It is like the novel of Edgar Allen Poe, you know which language it is not, but you don't know what it is.
It is not a Tachinidae, in my opinion. The arista is plumose, calyptra rather small.....
SO a Rhinophorid, a Calliphorid .....
?

Thanks Theo. I hope this means that it is an interesting species. I'll try to collect some next time. At first I thought it was an anthomyiid because I think it is the same species as the one on another thread I posted in 2008 in which Nikita said it was that family:
