Hi Pierre. With bicolor cheeks and yellow-brownish fore aspirator it has to be Calliphora vicina. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

The basicosta seems yellow, which supports Nikita's view. Let us hear Tony... Theo |

Yes, the dark calypter, orange anterior spiracle, orange cheeks with no orange hairs and pale basicosta all add up to vicina. Great shots, Pierre!
