Thank you Juan and Lauren for your help with the ID. I added two more photos where the wing venation a little better.

I agree with Juan and I think also that it looks more like a Tachinid than a Soldier Fly. Would you happen to have a picture that shows the wing venation a little better? It's a very neat fly.

Hola Luis. Estaba pensando que esta mosca posiblemente podría ser de la familia Tachinidae, algún género como Cylindromyia. Desgraciadamente no puedo ver bien la venación alar en tus fotos. Acá te dejo un link para que compares. http://www.diptera.info/forum/attachment...
