I would say it's Sarcophagidae rather. |

Indeed. It's a Amobia. 2-3 species around, only distinguishable by the male genitalia. This is a male, so did you collect it ? Otherwise, it will remain Amobia spec., I'm afraid. Theo Zeegers |

fooled by red traffic eyes.  and for abdomen. It was so convincent to be a Sarcophagidae fly! How can we distinguish here apart Sarcophagidae/Tachinidae? Subscutellum is not easily visible... * Theo, please see email.

My 'indeed' referred to 'Sarcophagidae' So Jorge did get the trafficlight-red eyes splendidly ! Theo |
