I agree, it resembles a Sarcophagid. |

I'm not convinced that it is a sarcophagid - it reminds me of of the tachinid Billaea maritima, which I photographed at the Moscow Zoological Museum recently:

I agree with Chris, the genus seems correct. maritima has the yellow antennas. I am 60 km of the sea, can be with the wind  I live in the inside of Provence, at the beginning of the Alps. Edited by christoophe on 21-07-2009 07:06 |

Definitely a Tachinid: Billaea. The female of B. maritima, to be precise. Rather Mediterrean species, I know it from Bulgaria. Theo |
