It is very quiet on this thread.
I am not sure, but I have an opinion.
It reminds me of Eginia ocypterata.
That is a difficult fly to identify from a picture.
It is difficult to assign at family level at all. It looks like a scatophagid, parasite with meral bristles as in tachinidae, but now placed in Muscidae.
Therefor picture could be compared with specimens in collection. Unfortunatedly I do not have a specimen in my collection. It is rare.
I found some drawings of Eginia. Hindlegs have more bristles in Eginia, but that might be a difference between male (on drawing) and female (on this picture?).
Black, did you collect specimens? And where did you take the pictures?
