This is a Sarcophaga for sure.
Probably Sarcophaga (Discachaeta) pumila. This not an id but it is the most common, small Sarcophaga with black genitalia.

Liekele thank you for the information. I have seen this species several times this week at different places.
I better change the title,
Kind regards,

Sorry to ressurrect this thread but are we sure that this is correct? Because it doesn't look like the ones that I have keyed out from the UK ... and mine all have red genitalia, as described in the key :S
How about something like
Sarcophaga (
Pierretia)
nigriventris?

Thank you Chris for looking at this. I have more pictures if needed. But I have no key and do not know what detail may be needed
Kind regards,

Well, Liekele & Thomas are the sarcophagid experts ... but a friend of mine caught
pumila recently and he saw this photo and it didn't match his specimen ... or any of mine, so we were a bit worried. :)

After some discussion with Chris, I must agree this cann't be Sarcophaga pumila nor S. nigriventris.
Because off the shiny appearance it should be Sarcophaga dissimilis or S. chaetoneura.
A definitive identification is however only possible by checking the genitalia.

To Liekele goes the credit for the identification - I just noticed that the original name seemed wrong and Liekele worked the rest out :)
