One of my best photos taken by Nikon Coolpix 3100. Taken today (12 JUne) afternoon, in Silgueiros - VISEU - PORTUGAL

To see it larger go to: http://www.flickr...975&size=l

I think this is can be Sarcophagidae / Darcophaginae ?



Then, see this one:

It was taken very near of a very little pond.

to see it larger go to:

Finally, this one:

To see it larger go to: http://www.flickr...496&size=o

This fly is a little bigger than the usual. Perhaps more than 15 mm.

ID please. Thank you.

I think, the second one is Anthrax sp, Bombyliidae.

This fly (the second) seems too like a Hemipenthes sp. What do you think? Which is/are the difference/s? Thank you.

And what about other flies?

The last one seems belongs to Asilidae family... do you agree?

Please let me know about ID of these flies. Thank you.

The Asilid is Dasypogon diadema.

This other photo taken by Josef Hlasek shows clearly what I seen yesterday. Thank you! Now it lacks confirmation about Anthrax sp. and knows what is the first fly...

Top picture You are rightPfftPfft. This is Sarcophidae and probably Sarcophaga sensu lato Check back to the glossary sometime I have submitted this term. Sarcophagidae will soon be in the glossary too. Cheers Robert
