Hello! Who can help me identify this please? It belongs to the Anthomyiidae family.

At first, welcome to this forum.
Indeed an Anthomyiidae, but it is a female and mostly difficult to determine from photos.
With a pinned specimen, we can give it a try.
First we need a better view on the legs chaetotaxy (mid- and hind leg), acrostichals (dorsal view thorax) and from that point we have to look further ..
And can you give some information about date and place where you found this fly.

Hi! Thank you so much :) I am happy that I found this community online :)
Well, I am preparing a final project related to forensic entomology. I captured this specimen during March 2013 on rabbit carrion in Algiers, Algeria (North Africa).
These are the best pictures that I have showing the caracteres you asked for. Hope it will help.

I have to pass on this one.
From the African Anthomyiidae I don’t know much and the chaetotaxy of the legs we can’t see, because they are missing and the other characteristics are to poor for me, for a proper ID. (maybe a
Delia species)
The third photo seems to me, to belong to another specimen, because on this photo the legs seems present… (Fanniidae?)
But maybe M. Ackland would try a guess on this one….

(with male specimen, you have more chance…)
