Hello Forum, one more fly from the alder marshland in Hagen (D) 175 m above sea level. This photo was taken on July 31st 2007. The plant in the background is Heracleum shondyleum. The author of this photo is my co-worker Hans-J?rgen Reichling (Hagen, D). The picture was digitalized from a paper photo. Is it a Sarcophaga spec.? What else? Is a closer ID possible? Best wishes Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image:  [31.49Kb] |

Hello Jorge, yes, Sarcophagidae. I was to hasty with the family. Nevertheless, is a closer ID possible? There is another picture of the same animal, taken from Hans-J?rgen Reichling as well. Best regards, Josef Josef Buecker attached the following image:  [41.18Kb] |

No. There are cc. 1oo species belonging to several genera and countless subgernera that look more or less this. Males are identifiable by the rather distinct genitalal stucture, which are large and relatively easy to see, females are tough, and for many species no determination is possible. If I see well this is a female. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |
