It certainly is a Sarcophaga species. They are very difficult to separate into species, require examination of the male bits (obviously he's the one on top). Great quality image, good old 100D can do a great job, given the right lens.

Excellent macro shot, Brian. I might stick an upgrade to the 'L' version of the lens on my ever-increasing wish list!

Re: Sarcophaga/Flesh Fly

Excellent detail Brian the only slight downside is that the mid body is out of the plane of focus. I see you shot at f5 - I always try and shoot with the macro at f8, a bit more depth of field and like with a lot of lenses, f8 is around the "sweet spot"

Re: Sarcophaga/Flesh Fly

Plenty of detail in the subject Brian, well done. I can never seem to obtain images as good as this and certainly not hand held
