User's notes

Another light grey fly with one central stripe, and 1 or 2 other parallel stripes running dorsally from the back of the head to the end of the thorax. The upper abdomen has symmetrical grey patches delineated by the same black-brown. It has dark red-brown eyes surrounded by a pale yellow-cream colour, as is the front of the head. The legs appear black (?poor lighting?) or dark grey and the feet look to be relatively large. This fly shares similarities with the fly at sighting 4672618. Possibly a 'flesh fly' (Sarcophagidae family) ?
