This summer, 25-07-2009 on Pastinaca sativa. La Fontouret, Indre, France
Could it be an Amobia species?
Thanks for any comment.

No, simply Sarcophagini (Sarcophaga s.l.)
Why did you think so ?

I just thought it looked a bit like that (the head, the antennae). But (as you probably know) I know practically nothing about flies, so I suppose I shouldn't suggest something like this. Sorry!

No need to apology.
I just wondered, since Sarcophaga is so common and Amobia so rare....

Hello Theo,
Well, you're right. But it's not my habit to 'see' only the rare species. Normally I'm quite careful with this. But this time: I don't know. I just didn't see it right. And I saw a few pictures from Amobia that looked a bit like this one.
Thanks for your patience with nitwits like me!
