This one was resting on a birch (Betula) in my garden, Kapellen, Belgium. Is it a sarcophagid and is it possible to say more? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Chris. When I look through the Gallery it looks like Musca to me, but I will wait for an expert.

Antennae partly reddish and apex of cell r4+5 not broad : not M. levida.
Abdomen with shifting black and silver pattern + calypter not enlarged : not M. pascuorum.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
