Sarcophagidae looks wrong ... and I'm fairly sure it isn't a tachinid ... maybe a calliphorid?

Thank Chris, There was my first idea but I didn't find which Tachinidae. With the key of Theo, I get the genera : Dexiosoma, Dexia, Phyllomyia or Thelaira. According with the gallery, maybe Thelaira, but I'm not convinced. Your opinion ? Éric Eric Steckx |

Well, that's the problem - it isn't Thelaira or Dexiosoma or Dexia - it's the wrong shape and colour. The wing venation just reminds me of Calliphoridae.

Many thanks Chris I take Calliphoridae. Is it possible to guess the genera (13 in Belgium according to Fauna Europaea) ? I have other pictures but I don't know which features are useful. Best regards Éric Eric Steckx |

Perhaps Calliphora vicina. Do you have a lateral view ? |

Calliphora vicina or Calliphora vomitoria. The gray cheeks and gray "basicosta" make me think of the second kind (C. vomitoria). We need a lateral view.  Roberto Edited by skero74 on 12-10-2009 20:57 |

It is Calliphora and it could be C. loewi. Any chance of another shot ? Lateral, as Roberto wishes ? Theo |
