I found this fly in my backyard (in a countryside village in the Netherlands). It was sitting on a piece of tarpaulin. It has those strange "cushions" under its feet.

A bigger photo can be found here.

Ok, thanks. I've seen the Sarcophaga carnaria many times here in my backyard, but this one was black, so I started a new search.
Could it be the Sarcophaga jeanleclercqi?

It could be nearly any Sarcophaga s.l.
No use guessing from gallery, alas.
