Among the many Sarcophagidae sp images, I found this photo of a rather distinctive species. I this around Macronychia sp?

Unfortunately my only image.

Liekele, for my knowledge, could you tell me what's wrong with Macronychia, please ?
Stephane.

My suggestion of Metopia was incorrect.

Macronychia is - from the point of view of the picture - a bit similar to Metopia. But in this case it is not Metopia. Claws and pulvilli are out of focus, but appaer to be large (small in Metopia). Fifth abdominal tergite does not have a black transvers stripe (as in Metopia). 5 stripes on presutural part of thorax (4 in Metopia). And more.

So Gabor and Stephane, I agree on Macronychia.
