place:Tucson, AZ (USA)
it looks like a member of the tachinidae family to me...
Which Genus/species could it be?
Seems that it is Adejeania vexatrix - Thanks a lot for your help

Yes, certainly Tachinidae - looks like Adejeania vexatrix but do you have any other shots - particularly of the head? :)

I am sorry, but i have no good picture of his head...
I did the picture during a high school year a few years ago...
and it was still in a folder "not determined"
Thanks for your help!

Adejeania vexatrix always have huge, forward-pointing palps but I am pretty sure these are A.vexatrix just from the overall appearance.
