 Hello,

I thought it could be Kirbya moerens, but it looks a bit different to that one which had been determined that way some months ago (https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=108809).

Best regards,
Karola

 I think it's Nyctia halterata Sarcophagidae.

 Thank you, that looks good. According to photos of the species it should be a male.

Greetings,
Karola

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
