Possible genus Sarcophaga, these species are impossible to identify without the male genitalia. |

It does not look like an ordinary Sarcophaga sl. Could we see a close-up of the arista first, please, to exclude Wolfartia ? Thanks Theo |

It does not look like a Wohlfartia to me. I think this is probably Sarcophaga maculata or Sarcophaga dreyfusi because of the typical spots on the fifth abdominal tergit. This should be checked by examining genitalia of collected specimens. Method for preparing male genitalia is described on: http://www.zmuc.dk/entoweb/sarcoweb/sarcweb/collect/Collect.htm but identification by expert is necessary, so let him or her do the preparing too.
