Does anyone know the ID of this fly which I found yesterday in the south of the Netherlands?

This picture is from the same species I suppose, it's made at the same location. Maybe it will give more details which are necesary to find the ID?

In the Netherlands it can be Melinda gentilis or M. viridicyanea. I don't find any info or picture. Is it possible to see which one it should be?Wink

I meant to say pre-sutural ac set well forward of suture. Also shining white orbital plates.

It should be a male gentilis - pre-sutural ia present, frons clearly narrower than ocellar triangle, palps brown.

I should point out that I am never very comfortable IDing these small blue calliphorids, especially from photos - I would hesitate to entirely dismiss Onesia or Bellardia.
