Sand-coloured fly in the Forest of Montmorency (female)

[Click on the picture to enlarge it.]

I had a hard time to find an orientation.

At the beginning, I tried to find a solution in the Dexiinae, because of the general colour, but the abdominal setae and the alar venation didn't match.
After that, Eugène (evdb on this forum) told me that I should search in the Sarcophagidae family. He meant that Taxigramma could be a good candidate.

Even if the general colour don't match with my specimen (I still have two pictures of a male specimen on the same flower if it matters), do you think that this is a track to follow?

Well, as you can see, I'm pretty lost with this taxon.
I welcome any pointer to solve this little mystery.
Thanks in advance.

Subfamily Miltogramminae, but not Taxigramma.
