| | | Tachinidae ?
I think this is a Tachnid(sp), it must have had some kind of pupating issue, it cant fly, it just walks around in circles, anti-clockwise, its been doing it for the last half an hour ...  |

I have one which looks very much like that, except it doesn't have that huge lump on it's head! Is that a deformity I wonder?
I haven't identified mine yet, but it does look like a Tachinid to me.

It looks like a Sarcophagid to me. Sarcophaga perhaps? |

I knew I had one with a red tail before, and yes dogg, it looks like Sarcophaga africa but with a deformed face. |

Yes it does look like that one, it had an orange backside.
To me, it looks like its over-inflated itself ... |

Looks like a teneral specimen whose wings and head capsule hasn't quite developed yet. Id by genitalia only as chaetotactic characters variable. |

Definately a fleshfly Sarcophagidae. to me. Sarcophaga sp is likely as Dan said, and ID confirmed by genetalia as per Lync's post - teneral too.
Do you have a dorsal or one showing particularly the abdomenal markings? The video shows unsymetrical marks on the wings too... namely kind of dotting? A top-down would be good. |
