Hello usiaz,
another photo isn't helpful, unless you have a photo of genitalia. Sarcophaga (Sarcophaga) can only be distinguished by genitalia. I find that the aedeagus is most necessary because the cerci and surstyli look very similar. I've attached a photo of mine depicting the aedeagus of
Sarcophaga (Sarcophaga) carnaria.
I use the nonpareil work of Dr. Thomas Pape. Dr. Pape is Great and i admire his work very much. If you decide to collect specimens, then i highly recommend the book "The Sarcophagidae of Fennoscandia and Denmark" by Dr. Pape.
I hope that you have a pleasant day :)
