Can anyone tell from this photograph if it is Sarcophaga carnaria? If so, I couldn't find one in the Gallery?

It's probably Sarcophaga but it's impossible to tell species from photos because they're all genitalia-jobs ... you need a male and you have to look at his 'bits' to tell which species it is ... and even then the differences are very small ![]() Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

It is definitely a Sarcophaga (Sarcophaga) male, with broad parafacials and 2 strong marginals on abdominal T3. From the yellow colouring of the parafacials I "feel inclined" to say "S.(S.) subvicina", but I cannot exclude the other 2 british species. Jan H.C.Velterop. |
