Here is an other one that makes me wonder if it's a Tachihidae after all. Large Sarcophaga-size fly but the smaller two notopleural bristles and small hairs on hind coxa are missing. Arista is plumose and it won't fit to the Sarcophaga key. July 16. 2010 Loviisa, Finland.

To me it looks like a tachinid but, again, too much close-cropping on the wings ... would be nice to see the whole fly dorsally so that we can see the entire wing venation. Does it have a subscutellum? I love the "beard" of bristles :)

Try with
Eurychaeta in Calliphoridae (formerly in Sarcophagidae, also known as genus
Helicobosca).

Ahhh, I heard of
Eurychaeta but hadn't seen one yet :)

I'm sure there are exceptions, but this is the rule:
Sarcophagini NEVER have yellow palpi
A 'Sarcophaga' with yellow palpus must be Eurychaeta

To be honest, Calliphoridae didn't come to my mind. I have one
Eurychaeta palpalis from last summer but I didn't remember it at all. Thank You once again for help :)
