This was a very distinctive fly which I observe two or three times in July. Does anyone know which genus and species is this?

I thought this would be an easy image. Can I put this down as an unidentified Calliphorid? Can Muscidae be excluded? |

Yes, exclude Muscidae - the bend in vein M is too sharp (and has a small appendix). I'd say this is probably Bellardia, but the key characters are not easy to see clearly.

M merges to the edge of the wing,this rules out a lot of species. The abdomen is clearly metallic, this leaves only two species: stricta and pusilla. This was not a very small species, which hints towards pusilla. This happens to be the most common species in Hungary (still quite uncommon, I saw it only twice). If it is Bellardia, it is likely to be B. pusilla. |
