A rather Sarcophagid-like Tachinid.

Another view.

are you sure it is the same fly? The first looks like a tachinid and shows the subscutellum very clearly (but I still don't know which!), but the second looks like a sarcophagid. I think the markings on the thorax; wing venation; and bristles on the abdomen look slightly different.

I think you are right. Two subsequent photos. I forgot the circumstances, and I assumed that they show the same fly. But obviously two separate flies are on the two photos.

No problem - they do look quite similar but I like that you caught the subscutellum on the first photo :D I just wish i knew what it could be ;) There are a few tachinids that have a very striking resemblance to a sarcophagid in the field (
Estheria etc) but this isn't one of those so it could be something I don't have here.

First one, Linnaemyia spec.
Second one must be a Sarcophagid, doesn't it ?

I agree. An obvious mistake from my side.
I'll delete this thread soon, if I have the right to do so.

The second image certainly looks like Sarcophagidae.
But I think it looks also very much like Eurychaeta (Calliphoridae).
I do recognize Eurychaeta in the field, because it looks like a Sarcophagide with a Tachinid appaerance.
Then I check id with binoculars (lateral view of head, propleuron hairy).
So we need the specimen to id it on family level.
