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

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.
Best,
Jerome
