Flesh Fly    

 

The Sarcophaga species have red eyes and very large feet but it is difficult to distinguish between them. They are very common in the UK and Europe but they are not often found indoors.

If you click on the images below you will be able to see the large feet and also the distinguishing bristles. They also usually have black and grey stripes on the thorax.
