When I look at this fly, the family Rhinophoridae comes to mind. Am I right?

some kind of Tachinidae. no petiole (not common to see a no petiole in Rhinophoridae) and calypters seems bigger than for an usual rhinophorid.
the black vittae on scutum seems so peculiar that this should be easy to reach genus level... maybe this was overlooked.

The only non-Phasiinae Tachinidae with small calyptrae, in our part of the world, is the genus Macquartia.
