Loads of these about at the moment in my garden, mainly on white daisy type flowers. 9mm long.
I think it's a tachinid rather than a calliphorid although I'm not too sure how to tell the difference without looking at the ventral sternites . I'd be grateful for an ID.

I'm having second thoughts. With those big feet I think it's probably one of the sarcophaginae.
