This got stuck in the wrong section. Moreover, it is a Sarcophagidae. Theo |

It's not always obvious because the 2 families are quite closely related and morphologically quite similar. But sarcophagids have no subscutellum (usually impossible to see in photos); they often have reddish eyes; and they usually have 3 clear, black stripes along the thorax (especially in Sarcophagini)
