Hello everybody,

I'm fairly positive that this is Sarcophaga sp.
This is perhaps wishfull thinking but... is there any chance of a full ID?

Thanks Jorge.

I take it that it isn't possible to give a genus or species name?
Best regards,

Iolaire

I don?t dare to say which genus for this fly! Smile usually when we saw a Sarcophagidae (not Miltogramminae) we look at the pic in this way: ShockShock or... Frown

lol

We can give you a positive ID - if you collect the specimen, and it's not one of the difficult females! Wink There are a few species that are distinctive enough we can be fairly sure of their identity from a photo, but it needs a good image that shows the characters well.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your reply.

Collecting the specimen? I've just started photographing insects a little more serious now and collecting them hasn't really come to mind. Yet. I guess it just did!

I'll try to find (and catch, of course) another one. The picture was taken a couple of weeks ago though. Not sure if I'll find the same species just now.
Best regards,

Iolaire
