Photos taken in Reading, UK on 2010-06-27. I originally thought these might be Rhinophoridae but I have not been able to find anything in the gallery or forums that matches them. tristram attached the following image:  [131.65Kb] Edited by tristram on 09-01-2012 16:29 |

This, I think, was the female after the male flew off.

They're one of the smaller Sarcophagidae (perhaps Sarcophaga (Discachaeta) pumila)  Note: the lack of median discals and the elongate R5 wing cell - plus reddish eyes.
