I am nearly convinced this is Miltogramminae. Taken in Asturias, N Spain, near a beach on the 7th April 2012. Thanks in advance for any help!! :)

A detail of the thorax.

Took loads of decent pictures so I can provide more details if necessary.

hmm... this is not Miltogramminae, Pilluca. But a Sarcophagidae in another subfamily. :)

Thanks Jorge!! The shape of the abdomen and the small size fooled me. No wonders that I was totally lost trying to get the genus :S :S

Any chance to get the genus or the real subfamily??

This is a species of Sarcophaga (sensu lato), subfamily Sarcophaginae. Difficult to guess at the subgenus without seeing the male genitalia, but it may well be a species of Sarcophaga (Myorhina).
