Hello!
There seem to be some bristles, but enough for a tachinid? The top cell seems closed, but I am not sure. What kind (species? genus? family?) of fly is this?
(Photo July, near Kyoto, size about 7-8mm)
Thanks,
Michael

This is a TAchinid.
By great luck, we can even see which tribe: note the scissorlike appendices at the top of abdomen, typical for Leucostomatini (Phasiinae)
