Have tried to use a key for family ID, and looked through the gallery also. Could it be Tachinidae? Does not look like a typical tachinid I think, but could not find other possible families...

I too thought it might be a tachinid but I just don't recognise it ... I thought as a wild guess maybe Loewia but I am really not sure without seeing other angles or a specimen :)
