Tachinidae
honey bee size but extremely hairy, black and yellow bands on abdomen.
montane rainforest
This insect was flying around when we stopped for a rest on a forested ridge. I was doing a 4 day trek in southern China near the border with Myanmar. Being 'winter', there weren't a lot of insects around, so it was cool to see this.

Agreed, Tachinid Fly. Great series. Love the first shot showing the rows of hairs!
Looks like it may belong to the tachinidae family. Very cool!
