Could this be one of the Metopiinae (Sarcophagidae)?

Nice indeed, but Paul is right: it should be placed in Sarcophagidae - Miltogramminae. Theo |

Hi Paul We mean the same thing. It is in the subfamily of Metopia and Miltogramma. I use to call that subfamily Miltogramminae. Whether it is in the tribe Miltogrammini or in the tribe Metopiini, is another matter (in which I lack expertise). Theo |

Thank you Paul and Theo. This fly change my dislike of Sarcophagidae family into, as a minimum neutral position. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Be warned ! They are kleptoparasites, which is just an euphemism for robbers !! But they are pretty indeed, many Miltogramminae. Theo |

Theo, you think, that bieng kleptoparasite is worse than simply parasite as your preferable family or vampirs as another one? And to tell you truth, this fly had stolen nothing out of my equipment, as far as I check so far

Dear Liekele, specimen on this photo have been collected. In my old key (by Rodendorf) is only one species C. tabaniformes with slightly different color of leg and antennae 3-d. Could you tell me what should I check to get species level? Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Nikita, Fantastic job! Beautiful field shot, and specimen shots, of the handsome Craticulina, miltogrammine fly (same specimen!). Really great work. Eric. |

Nikita, Considering all information, I think we can eliminate most Craticulina species, so this is Craticulina tabaniformis after all. Liekele |
