Tachinidae - Siphona sp. (note the small size, bent median vein, hairs on vein r4+5, converging subapicals and long hinged proboscis) - but no closer ID is possible because the genus is too difficult to identify from photos ... it's even too difficult to identify from some specimens too ;)

That is really quick, Chris.

Thank you for your excellent explanation, although I must confess that I will have to study your information.;)

Siphona sp. it is.
