As a rule, Sarcophagidae is very seldom possible to ID from photos.

the better would be to see genitalia.. not the frons. Wink
Sarcophagidae is hardest to ID by photo, almost impossible.

Jorge is correct - this is a female Sarcophaga (s.l.) and I think it would be alomost impossible to identify even with a specimen. Males can be identified on their genitalia but they are usually impossible from photos. Sad

The first is a female and the second is a male

So you're sure it's the same individual ??
