Hello jmarie987, I'm certainly not a world expert but i would check Muscidae or Sarcophagidae. I see at least 5 dc and one pair of prescutellar ac, I also see shadow veins on the wings. How do you arrive at Calliphoridae? is the suprasquamal ridge haired? Best wishes, John Edited by johnes81 on 08-10-2019 14:41 John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Thank you John, I am more in mosquitoes than in flies! I will remove Calliphoridae, I thought that Sarcophagidae had always 3 black stripes on thorax. Thanks for any advice I will put it in a Sarcophagidae thread Best wishes Jerome |

Thanks Theo, I will change it. I am trying to identify flies but I am not into it as my specialty is Medical entomolgy dealing with vectors. thanks for all your advices and orientation in determining this specimen.
