I've not seen a curve in the median vein quite like this, and the markings on the thorax also look distinctive. This combination surely suggests a genus Either anthomyiidae or sarcophagidae is my guess. the scutellum is tipped with red and is quite bristly thanks, Jeremy jeremyr attached the following image:  [45.78Kb] Edited by jeremyr on 12-04-2014 13:42 |

Indeed, the combination vein M1+2 upcurved + scutellum red-tipped give the genus Muscina (Muscidae). Probably Muscina prolapsa for yours.

thanks Stephane, it appears to have very dark legs. Is that also a key feature?

The dark legs eliminate M. stabulans and M. angustifrons, the absence of large lower calypter eliminate M. pascuorum, and the the width of cell r4+5 opening at apex eliminate M. levida. It remains Muscina prolapsa.
