this posiible Sarcophagidae found 22. June 2019 on our terrace in South Palatina / Germany is with about 7mm much too small for Sarcophaga carnaria. Are there other smaller one's? Or is it a Tachinidae like Blondelia nigripes?
Would be nice if it is possible to ID it on this one Foto:

It is Sarcophagidae. It is rarely possible to identify to species from a photo. Underfed larvae of Sarcophagidae often produce small adults. This is an adaptation to the larval environment where many larvae compete for a limited resource.
