Any tips for getting to species level? And is it male or female? 13mm, 21 November 2006, east London cemetery park.

Hi Susan,

This is a lot to ask.
Most Sarcophaga sl. can only be identified by their genitalia.
So start there or... forget about Sarcophagini (my personal, though agreed unscientific solution).
