HI


* locality - Silgueiros - Viseu - PORTUGAL
* date - 18.11.2006
* size - 5 mm (not sure about size)
* habitat - open land
* substrate - granite...


Not sure, but I think this couls be Tachinidae. Seems very hairy in tip abdomen like tachinids... and have a strong bend in M vein as it doesn?t have very red eyes.. and it has a very slender abdomen...

What do you think about this one?

Thank you!

The very slender abdomen is a typical jizz of Sarcophagidae Sarcophaginae. Few greyish Tachinidae are that slim (though they do exist: Phorocera).
So, good arguments for the other conclusion: Sarcophaginae.

Remember: trafficlight-red eyes = Sarcophagidae !!

OK, but it is more vividly red than in most, if not all, Tachinidae.
Have a look at the Tachinidae pictures and you will see what I mean.
It subtle, but very usual, especially in the field.

is it possible to provide genus for this one?

I suppose that you must take in this order the photos: dorsal view, frontal view, lateral view, right?

Thanks again!
