Well, it's very nice and it is tribe Tachinini ... but without a good look at the head & palps it will have to remain anonymous  These really need specimens even to get to a stage where you are fairly sure of the genus ... not even confident of the genus

Well, it doesn't say much to be honest - there are a lot of these - big bristly ones basically
