Perhaps a sarcophagid? (eg. Miltogramma?)

It is sarcophagid indeed. Pterella to be precise. Not Miltogramma because it has vibrissal setae.

I think this is Pterella penicillaris because of shape frontal vita, frons and lack of black abdominal spots on tergite IV.

If it is collected and if it is a male, you might have a loke at the fore tarsus for distinct bristles.
