This got stuck in the wrong section.

Moreover, it is a Sarcophagidae.

It's not always obvious because the 2 families are quite closely related and morphologically quite similar. But sarcophagids have no subscutellum (usually impossible to see in photos); they often have reddish eyes; and they usually have 3 clear, black stripes along the thorax (especially in Sarcophagini) Smile

Thanks Chris, I'll have a look for some more tachinids but this is helpful for the future

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
