Thank you Lorin Timaeus for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Adelaide Hills, the Flinders Ranges and elsewhere ~9mm long. Lorin said "Close to the eyes there is a long bristle bent forwards (proclinate) in Females. Males do not have them. Eye distance is hard to judge in Sarcophaga, only slight differences between the genders." Similar Species: Fleshfly-mimicking Bristle Fly (Exorista sp) | |||||
