I have this one down as a Sarcophagid. (Could be wrong of course.) Can anyone improve on that id? Size was about that of a typical blowfly. Caught in the house in May 2008. Location: Southern England. Basil Crowley attached the following image:  [55.24Kb] |

Would be nice to have some idea of scale but it looks like a typical Sarcophaga sp. - it's not possible to say more without a male specimen to do a genitalia dissection.
