Can anyone identify this one, please? The genitalia look unusual. Collected 16 May 2016 basking on brambles in Gronant Dunes, North Wales. It has hypopleural bristles and a bulbous postscutellum but I can't key it out using the Belshaw tachinid key. Could it be a rhinophorid, Trichogena rubricosa?

Thanks for the pointer. I don't have a sarcophagid key but I've changed the heading above so maybe someone will recognise it.

Looks pretty good for Sarcophaga (Heteronychia) dissimilis...a small, dark Sarcophaga with 3 post-sutural DCs, long scutellar apicals, vein 1 setulose and a black epandrium.
