Seen today 19 may 2011 at border of Salix flood forest in Urtica Rubus fielo in riverine area The Netherlands. Looks like a Rhinophoridae but has R5 open.

This is a Sarcophaga for sure. Probably Sarcophaga (Discachaeta) pumila. This not an id but it is the most common, small Sarcophaga with black genitalia. Liekele |

Sorry to ressurrect this thread but are we sure that this is correct? Because it doesn't look like the ones that I have keyed out from the UK ... and mine all have red genitalia, as described in the key  How about something like Sarcophaga (Pierretia) nigriventris?

Well, Liekele & Thomas are the sarcophagid experts ... but a friend of mine caught pumila recently and he saw this photo and it didn't match his specimen ... or any of mine, so we were a bit worried.

After some discussion with Chris, I must agree this cann't be Sarcophaga pumila nor S. nigriventris. Because off the shiny appearance it should be Sarcophaga dissimilis or S. chaetoneura. A definitive identification is however only possible by checking the genitalia. Liekele |

To Liekele goes the credit for the identification - I just noticed that the original name seemed wrong and Liekele worked the rest out
