Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Question about Calliphora

Hello,

I am still trying to find some Calliphora non-vicina. C. vomitoria is relatively easy to distinguish from vicina, but other species are very difficult for me to recognize. If I remember correctly, the light wing basis (what is the technical term for it?; I can't recall), marked with an arrow on the photo below, is characteristic for Calliphora vicina?

I have taken many photos since July, I can't upload them all. Some I have posted here:

They are also bigger (up to 1800x1350 pixels) than possible here. I would be very grateful, if somebody could have a look at them and tell me, if he/she finds a specimen that is not C. vicina. Thanks in advance!
