Hello Forum,
Found this fly today (about 7-8mm)....and could it become a Miltogramma sp.
Because of the typical head

Not Miltogramma, because Miltogramma does have arista bare and no vibrissa.

Hmmm...strange...
Than I have also doubt if the next photo also isn't a Miltogramma.....because, it looks like the arista is not bare..?
(was recently determinated as Miltogramma sp.)

The last picture is indeed not Miltogramma. Chris Raper called it "a relative of Miltogramma" which is correct because it is Metopia female (both Sarcophagidae, Miltogramminae).
There was a second picture showing typical pattern on thorax and abdomen of Metopia female more clearly.
In this picture the arista is not clearly visible and I agree te picture suggests it to be not bare. I expect this to be an artefact.

Aha!
I remember it, I could not place the word "relative"....so I misunderstand it.
Next time, I just ask!
Thanks very must for your answer!!
