This is another of the long-running series of photos from Stephane Brule, in French Guiana. Could anyone suggest a name or at least confirm the family? :)

Thanks Erikas ... I didn't spot the antennal features - the rest of it looked like strats that I have seen from there :)

A Bactrocera sp., obviously an invasive introduced species.
