Am I correct that this one belongs to the Sarcophagidae? Is a further ID possible? Spotted in Suriname

Tachinidae, possibly Blondeliini which is a speciose group in tropical America. Unlike typical Exoristinae, several genera of Blondeliini parasitize beetles and are found at lights like their hosts. The dark spots on the wings may help ID. Edited by John Carr on 14-02-2023 16:44 |

Thank you! I'll put a question mark with the Blondeliini. Can I be sure of the subfamily Exoristinae John?

Playing the odds, if it comes to light it is likely to be a beetle parasite. Beetle parasites tend to be in Blondeliini or Dexiinae. It looks more like Blondeliini. Such a wing pattern does exist in Blondellini (Lixophaga umbripennis (van der Wulp) from tropical Mexico). |
