Thanks Jorge

I thought it maybe Tachinid fly but I did't dare to say.;)
In first photo it has something on the abdomen. What could it be?:o

I am not convinced it is a tachinid - looks more like a muscid or callaphorid from the general shape - but I am not an expert on the fauna down there :)

hmm... is there a calliphorid with so many bristles in abdomen? :S I know that we can see many bristles in Muscidae, but in Calliphoridae?=...

The abdominal pattern reminded me of Myospila or Helina (Muscidae) when I first saw this, but I don't think it is either of those. Really not sure ...
The brown things on the abdomen in the first picture appear to be dried anthers - you can see some sticking to the flowers on the left.

it seems to be pollen?? :S

Ok.. take a more carefully look, it could be Graphomyia?? (Muscidae?)
