Hello Theo,
Thank you for that input. Once Gerard gave me the family, I started finding pictures all over the www. I emailed my pictures to Thomas Pape at the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen. He confirmed the genus as Sarcophaga - but, like you, he stated the genitalia as critical to species identification.

Hell, I'm happy to have a genus!!

Thank you all for your help. It's very frustrating for a rank amateur such as myself to "pin these guys down", as I don't collect them, I just take pictures.

Regards,
Bruce Marlin
