Have a nice day. One Question please. Can this Sarcophagidae species be identified more precisely? Or would Sarcophaga s.L. fit? I would be very grateful for an answer. Kind regards Karl.
Finding data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tattendorf, 220m, dry flowering area, July 7, 2024, Size: ca. 6-8mm

It is a male Sarcophagidae but it is not a clear match with Sarcophaga s.l.: the vertex is a bit narrow. Did you rear it ?

Hello Theo thank you for the Answer of Sarcophagidae sp. I didn't fully understand the last sentence. Back then I went through the flowering meadow to find insects. I had a lid with a piece of paper where insects would sit down from time to time. So does this Sarcophagidae species. In other words, the Sarcophagidae species came directly from the flowering meadow.
Best Wishes Karl.

My gut feeling is male Blaesoxipha, but this should be confirmed by a real expert.

Thanks Theo for the answer. I'll wait for a real expert on Sarcophagidae species then.
