Thank You and Best Wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.

However, there seems to be confusion between Scathophaga inquinata and S. lutaria. Thus, i think that genitalia may be necessary. I key my specimen to Scathophaga inquinata but the humeral callus is yellow, which is mentioned for S. lutaria and not S. inquinata. I saw that Stephane (LeBrun) posted once that the yellow calli should be ignored because the abdomen is wholly yellow. I am struggling to determine this specimen because i think it is Scathophaga inquinata despite the yellow calli. I will try genitalia and the requested document has genitalia for both male and female species. Thank you, Theo! By the way, i owe you many favors you are always nice and helpful. I do not forget you! Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts.
