I think this is not a Tachinid fly either. Could be a female Onesia, Calliphoridae. I think you posted some males earlier. But it certainly has a Sarcophagid jizz, because it is rather slender. |

I'd say Onesia. There seems to be a metallic sheen to the abdomen, so that would exclude Sarcophagidae. Also the feet are too small for a Sarcophaga -they have really big pulvilli. The arista is plumose, so unlikely to be Tachinidae. (It doesn't look like any of the tachinds I know with plumose arista.) Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |
