I have this one down as a Sarcophagid. (Could be wrong of course.) Can anyone improve on that id?

Size was about that of a typical blowfly. Caught in the house in May 2008. Location: Southern England.

Would be nice to have some idea of scale but it looks like a typical Sarcophaga sp. - it's not possible to say more without a male specimen to do a genitalia dissection. Smile
