Hello, for me this looks a bit like the common Sarcophaga carnea, but the pattern on the abdomen seems to be different. What is it? (found last week, germany, size about 9mm). Thanks, Michael Michael Becker attached the following image:  [76.66Kb] |

Notice that the topcell is closed and even stalked, very unusual for Sarcophaga sl. So my guess is this is Estheria in Tachinidae / Dexiinae. Very difficult to go further, possibly E. bohemani |

Nice fly ... I don't see many Estheria here in UK but I always think they look quite like sarcophagids  |
