Thinking Tachinidae but reddish-tipped abdomen = perhaps Sarcophagidae

IN our universe, this would be Linnaemyia.
Maybe in yours too ?

Always I thought that termination -mya wasn't correct but -myia...

Some write -mya in some cases , some (like me) write always -myia.
There is no such thing as correct spelling, it simply depends on the rules you follow. See previous posts on this matter.

Thanks for your input. Difficulty with that list is that it does not list distribution of species, the fauna can be vastly different across the NA continent. The species I listed have all been recorded in the NE where I live.
