It is well pointed. I don't say that only Sarcophaginae have these setulae, Tachinidae can have some similar setulae (I think to Peleteria for example), Rhinophoridae too (like Stevenia) but in combination with some other characters(plumose arista and such a wing venation, i.e. M1+2 with appendix), it gives for more than 99% sure a Sarcophagidae(-nae). Not scientific at all, just a clue...
