Found 28.01.18 dead at house, Tuebingen, Southern Germany.
Is this a Calliphora (perhaps C. subalpina)? If not, a brief explanation of the differentiating features is appreciated.
Thanks, Lars

Let's start with thr simplest solution: vicina.

All Calliphora are extremely similar. Rognes did a great job in describing the differences, I am not going to copy. In any case: you can only suggest another species if you are dead-sure it is not vicina, since 99.5% is vicina. Only in boreo-mountainous regions (like Norway) this is not true.

This one clearly is vicinaGrinarkened calypter and yellow basicosta.
