Hi, Any chance for an ID of this well-fed Sarcophagidae female? Only one picture.. 22nd January 2010 rainforest Paraty-Brazil. Thank you! Myriam

It looks like a male to me, and I don't think it is Sarcophaga. Others may be able to say more.

I'm far from an expert on these, but the bluish tinge on the thorax could be a clue? I recently put a Sarcophagidae for ID which had a bluish tinge, http://diptera.in...ost_149688 Ravinia belforti is a species coming up in searches for Brazil. Now wait for the real experts..  Janet

Thank you Tony and Janet! It certainly looks like yours Janet! Never thought it being a male! Must be one of these exceptions on the distance of the eyes then.. A pity I don't have more pictures, but I remember it being a big fly! Edited by bonitin on 26-11-2010 21:00 |
