I am aware of large intraspecific size variations, but this one was especially small in comparison to some Calliphora vicina around.
Is this a Calliphora at all?

Vienna, in August

Hi Lorin,

I think, this is simply Calliphora vicina. I found 5 mm specimens, but they still were C. vicina...
Best regards,
Jürgen

Basicosta clearly yellow, so no doubt.

Size of adult depends on food supply in larval stage.

Thanks Theo, such an easy marker and I forgot to use it!

(however, basically relying on the British key - not sure what additional species might occur in eastern Austria...)
