Hello!
Is this a Sarcophagid? It measured only about 5 mm. Yesterday in our garden (northwest Germany).

Arrghh... My last red eyed 5 mm "Tachinid" turned out to be Sarcophagidae:

I'm not sure ... I am more with Sarcophagidae on this one ... the post-bend vein is very stretched and concave + red eyes.
