As Kahis says, it's certainly
Sarcophaga subgenus
Bercaea. My feeling is that the genitalia are close enough to be
S. africa. There are minor differences to the
africa I've seen, but that's not surprising. Although they are the best way to tell species apart, it's worth remembering that the genitalia can vary a bit. The skill is to know how much variation is "permissible"! I don't know of any other
Bercaea in Israel - so I think it is safe to call this
Sarcophaga (
Bercaea)
africa.
