Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Metopia (Sarcophagidae)?

On May 12th I found quite a few of these flies around Vaals, Netherlands. They were appr. 7 mm long. I think they might be of the genus Metopia (Sarcophagidae). Is that correct and is it possible to put a species name to it?

Thanks in advance!

Metopia is correct, several very similar species.

If you didn't collect any, we can't give you a name.

Thanks, Theo. I didn't collect, so it will be Metopia spec.
