Hi, a few days ago I took a few pictures of a brownish fly on a leaf in our garden. Except for the protruding front, there seems to be nothing really remarkable for my eyes. I didn't found a proper match in the Tachinidae gallery, so I'm wondering, if that is really the proper family. Is it possible to narrow down the determination from the picture?

Sarcophagidae, I think Metopia. |
