UK garden, 9th June, size 5mm approx. arista hairy, eyes bare. I'm not sure if it is Sarcophagidae or Tachinidae? Thanks for any help, Steve sd attached the following image:  [122.99Kb] |

I think, it is Tricogena rubricosa, Rhinophoridae.

The subscutellum on this should be only partially rounded, when compared closely to a known tachinid - and the little "stand-off" calyptrae are another good indicator that you have a rhinophorid
