Hi flyforum, I found this fly yesterday on my roomwindow. It is som 8-9mm in size and got some wing-calliphoridae-characteristics. The colour of the abdomen(back) are a bit blue-ish/green. Calliphora vomitoria ? I don't see any red beard?, anterior spiracle is orange/braun.. Any suggestions?

You don't see any red beard, so why do you think it might be vomitoria ? It's clearly vicina: * no red beard * gena reddish * basicosta yellowish * anterior spiracle yellowish. By far the most common species in The Netherlands. Vomitoria is actually quite rare. Theo |

Yes, no need to hesitate. The size was a bit small but the rest of the characteristics are there. Thank you for the nice survey |
