I would say Tachinidae?...

I would *guess* it's a tachinid - based on the apparently bare arista and very strong abdomenal bristles. But I'd definitely like to see a strong subscutellum on it before I'd say for sure :D

I agree with all that this looks like a Tachinid.
However, if Nikita doesn't see a swollen postscutellum....
The proboscis is peculiarly enlarged.
This is a feature of the Calliphorid-genus Bengalia from the old world tropics. So Nikita might try to look there ...
Beware: long shot.
