Hi flyforum,
I was wondering what kind of fly this is?
I thought it is a Scathophaga-specie.
Perhabs someone can tell more..
Or is it Suillia-specie?
What kind of Scatophaga ;) ? ?

Thank you Susan!
What makes it Scathophaga for you? and not Suillia sp. ?
and..
What about Scathophaga suilla? (looks like it.., but I am not very sure..)
Scathophaga Suilla: important characters are red antennae, plumose arista, red shoulders and black apexes of yellow/red femoras.
Where are the black apexes of yellow/red femoras? (where can I find these things.?)

see MID femur, in ventral femur you can see very fine yellow "hairs" (setae). Scathophaga has always those
setae.
I advice you to see OVERVIEWS:
