Is it possible to tell which species this 5 mm fly is?
I know that many Sarcophagidaes are difficult to speciate from pictures. From what angles should pictures be captured to have best chances?

Photos from 16 july 2012 Icktjärn 62 N, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden.

Thanks for your help in advance
Regards
Kurt Holmqvist

Female Metopia -- probably M. argyrocephala.
Head profile helps a lot for Miltogramminae but not for Sarcophaga spp.
