Hello,

Any idea of this Tachinid fly ?

Thelaira sp or Leucostomatini have been suggested to me for ID...

Thanks in advance

Looks pretty weird. Note the relatively long petiole in wing venation.
Is this the only picture available ?

Antenna is like Acemya. I think cell r5 is narrowly open or closed at or near the wing margin, with folding of the wing making it appear long-petiolate.

Yes, John, well spotted. My thought as well. I was still working on this hypothesis before posting.

Yes, it is the male Acemyia acuticornis.
