I'd like to see a closer/bigger image of it but at first glance it looks like one of the Mesembrinellinae (Callaphoridae). They are interesting to me because they masquerade very well as tachinids due to them having a very well developed subscutellum :D

I haven't had a lot of success with the available keys but I am keen to have more specimens and to work out the identifications eventually :)
