I would put my money on Calliphoridae (and I would probably lose it).

Right !
It is a Pollenia, given the golden curly hairs on the thorax.
The special way the abdomen is checkered, gives it away as well
(though very difficult to pinpoint how exactly it is special).
Anyway, curly golden or grey hairs on thorax is Pollenia.

Many thanks Theo. In fact I noticed those hairs immediately and thought they must be indicative of something! Sarah

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
