Hello! Sorry, the pic is not the best, but can this blue fly, seen on 15.04.06 on Tussilago flowers in Ostwestfalen/Germany, be identified to family/genus level? It was only as big as a small house fly (or even smaller). Thanks in advance!

Hi Juergen. It seems to me that your fly and mine (http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=1449) may be the same - blue, small (for Calliphoridae), on Tussilago, at mid-april, with two dusty lines on thorax, with slow curved M1+2.

Thanks, you may well be right! Although the occurence on Tussilago could be incidental - there are still not many other flowering plants here on the meadows.
