Taken on the 3rd March 2011 in the outskirts of Madrid. Muscidae? Sarcophagidae? Help, Please!
And sorry, only have this shot :o

I think it's an
Amobia (Sarcophagidae) : rounded head profile and small proclinate setuale on parafrontalia.

Thanks a lot again, Stephane! I am going to visit the same place next weekend. Hope to find it once more and get better pics in different angles. Don't expect to get the species but I would love to know the genus for sure. I have checked and truly looks like an
Amobia. :):D

I agree with Stephane: this is Amobia.
But we need a look at the genitalia to get a name at species level.

WOW! Thanks Liekele!! Just what I did need! And I know now that there is no point in struggling :D But I will try to get better shots, in order to submit them to the gallery. I see there aren't many Amobia there.
