Hello!

Is it a very common Sarcophaga carnaria or impossible to identify these flies only from photos? Thank you in advance. In my garden, Hungary.

22nd June, 2008 ~15 mm

This is likely a female, so pretty much hopeless even from a specimen.

I suspected it, thanks a lot for the attention Gabor.

This is a female fly. I see only 3 DC, but the distance between the first and second is nearly double the next distance. Three DC normally exclude Sarcophaga (Sarcophaga) , although sometimes the second DC is missing. So probably it belongs to another Sarcophaga subgenus. Without the specimen ID is impossible.
