Thanks!

Certainly a sarcophagid but I doubt it would be possible to go to species ... maybe genus if you're very lucky Smile

This looks like it might be a Sarcophaga (Pandelleana) protuberans (also considering the locality of origin). It's difficult to be so bold when identifying a sarcophagid from a picture, but the strongly protruding frons is very characteristic, combined with the red epandrium and 4 postsutural dc setae.

That's my guess, anyway! Pfft
