A rather Sarcophagid-like Tachinid.

are you sure it is the same fly? The first looks like a tachinid and shows the subscutellum very clearly (but I still don't know which!), but the second looks like a sarcophagid. I think the markings on the thorax; wing venation; and bristles on the abdomen look slightly different. |

I think you are right. Two subsequent photos. I forgot the circumstances, and I assumed that they show the same fly. But obviously two separate flies are on the two photos.

No problem - they do look quite similar but I like that you caught the subscutellum on the first photo  I just wish i knew what it could be  There are a few tachinids that have a very striking resemblance to a sarcophagid in the field (Estheria etc) but this isn't one of those so it could be something I don't have here. |

First one, Linnaemyia spec. Second one must be a Sarcophagid, doesn't it ? Theo |

I agree. An obvious mistake from my side. I'll delete this thread soon, if I have the right to do so. Edited by Xespok on 29-10-2007 19:21 Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

The second image certainly looks like Sarcophagidae. But I think it looks also very much like Eurychaeta (Calliphoridae). I do recognize Eurychaeta in the field, because it looks like a Sarcophagide with a Tachinid appaerance. Then I check id with binoculars (lateral view of head, propleuron hairy). So we need the specimen to id it on family level. Liekele |
