Hello together, I found this very nice fly at the top of Somada Alta (1.925msm) at the Caldera de Taburiente on La Palma (Canary Islands). The habitat is pretty dry. I'm not sure, if it's a tachinid or maybe a calliphorid? I'm happy for any help! Now I learned it's a sarcophagid, thanks for that!!!
