Senotiania (Sarcophagidae) is my first reaction (but we need a second opinion)

Colouration reminds me of Amobia, but I don't see the smal proclinate orbital setae.... Theo |

To me it does not look like a Senotainia sp. The head shape and coloration is different to my knowledge in that genus. Amobia looks better, but really you should wait for Liekele.

Forget my suggestion of Senotania - it's much more like Amobia, as Theo and Gabor have pointed out. (Not one of my better first reactions! )

This is not Amobia: Orbital bristles should be visible, but aren't. The frontal bristles are descending lower than insertion of antennae, but should not. The pictures show clearly strong parafacial bristles in lower, outer part. I do not know any miltogramminae with such bristles. This is a Sarcophaga spec. Liekele |

Right. Now you mention it, a second ad bristle o tibia is actually present, but hardly visible. I got fooled. Theo |

Be carefull with ad bristles on tibia. Aberrations occur frequently in several genera in Miltogramminae. Liekele |

I know. But had I seen the second bristle, I would have turned my eye to the parafacial bristles.... Theo |
