Attracted to rotting chicken livers in my garden in Somerset, UK. I keyed it to Piophilidae but have no keys for this group. The setae on the thorax don't seem to fit for Piophila casei. Can anyone put a name to it?

If there are hairs on the anepimeron, consider Liopiophila varipes.

Thank you John, yes there are hairs present.
