This needs 3 different threads otherwise it will get confusing:
- Gonia sp.
- Gonia picea
- Calliphoridae - Pollenia

As you can see the title is now wrong because one is not a tachinid Wink

Thanks very much, ChrisR!
Tachinid for all three was my wild guess.
I checked the Norwegian Gonia list and found five species, which all have some red except picea.
The four species having some red are:
capitata
ornata
divisa
distinguenda

Maybe still not possible to ID from photo?!

Gonia is a very difficult genus.

First one is likely G. ornata.

Thanks Zeegers.
After googling the Norwegian species I was ready to suggest ornata myself.
