Hi everyone, I couldn't even guess the family of this fly. Sorry but I'm still learning. So I need some advice about this one.
It has this stripped abdomen in back and white.

Thanks
Diego A. Rosa

Tony, could it be Notiphila?

Looks similar to the North American Notiphila pulchrifrons but the adbominal markings are not the same. I know nothing of the South American species.

I agree - Notiphila, in the area of pulchrifrons/bicornuta
