Found this fly a couple of days ago (17th Aug) sunbathing in my garden, close to Hamburg, Germany. I think it's Sarcophagidae, may Sarcophaga? Can there anything be said about species?

Thanks a lot, Marc

It is Sarcophaga but it isn't possible to identify it, I think. It is female anyway so it wouldn't be much good to catch it either, as male genitalia are used ;)

Thanks Chris, so I've learned some needs male genitalia for ID of species, too!
