Sarcophaga ruficornis Fabriclus
Will have to check it out - thanks, Ajmal!
This is most likely a Rufous fleshfly (Sarcophaga ruficornis Fabriclus) :)
Thanks, Cindy!Will have to edit it later, guess the helpful fairies are working on the data base, I'm getting some weird text in the edit fields :D
Hi Nicole, this is a Flesh Fly (Sarcophagidae) family. I don't know the genus or species though. I have the same fly on my profile as well. Surprisingly good looking flies for the name :)
Thanks, Alice, will look up the bee flies!It's an old shot with my tiny P&S - thanks :)
It is a reallly good close-up picture.
In my book it is called a Bee Fly, but you may have a different name there.
