Dates: Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Schenefeld near Hamburg, at an uncultivated natural area near to a rivulet, 25 m, Outsidefoto: kuv, 28th of June 2014. I looked to the photographs of diptera gallery, first in Muscidae, then Tachinidae, but I couldn't find a real similar fly. Please help.

Thank you, Theo, I did it to diptera gallery - but to me only Sarcophaga (Bercaea) africa looks a little similar to "my" fly. So I am afraid the ID must be Sarcophaga sp. or only Sarcophagidae.
Greetings Kuv

You cannot really state that. There is a reason you need to study the genitalia to get an ID.

Of course, Theo, you are right: In future to say names I'll handle with more care.
Best regards Kuv

A species of Sarcophaga. Male terminalia are not yet fully coloured but they seem to be of the black type, which rules out S. africa. Probably subgenus sensu stricto.

Ok, Thomas and thank you very much: I see it's a real difficult family if you have only the photographs. Greetings Kuv
