Today during lunch break I revisited cat's corpse in park.
I found only Piophilidae on it, but it seems to me that fauna changed.
3-4 mm. Looks like Prochyliza nigrimana. Is it?

I would not know for certain, but the name
Stearibia come to mind. Looks like a typical Ozerovian challenge to me.

Right tomorrow Ozerov will be back Moscow.

P.S. Among "Ozerov's" families like Scathophagidae, Sepsidae, Piophilidae, absolutely atypicaly looks Pallopteridae:D

LoL, that gives courage. It has been a while since I had a better look at the piophilidae, but this one stuck. :)
