Hello!
A guess here with only one pic but I have another from a different date which looks much the same (to me);). Take on 24th May 2009 in my garden near Lincoln UK.

Well, to me it just looks like a sarco because it has reddish eyes and an elongated body and a deeply concave 'post-angular vein' :) There are a few smaller sarcophagini that look like that and confuse people because they expect all sarcos to look like typical
Sarcophaga or Miltogrammini :)
