Sorry, not enough detail for me but Compsilura is a known parasitoid of Phalera bucephala, so it's a possibility Smile

But then again, Compsilura has been reared from anything, brick rocks included, so that does not mean much.
I can't see enough in this resolution.
Rui, please check in original whether ocellar bristles (between the 3 ocelli) are present or not.

Thank you, Theo

I don't have a hand lens that zooms better than what my camera does, so I am putting the best images I have here.

I hope that something can be seen.

The 1st photo shows a newborn fly.

I don't see an ocellar, which is consistent with Compsilura
