I hoped that in this case I get information from Chris Raper, but unfortunely he told me that this fly nerevtheless the rich hairy abdomen is not from his department (not Tachinidae).
Sorry to disturb yours again, but the hell distinguish this Calliphoroidea!

I have the naive idea that all the metallic green ones are Lucilia, and perhaps all Lucilia are green. I've got Erzinclioglu's key at ahnd, but that one doesn't say much about colour. Maybe someone can elucidate this? Louis

From what I can determine, this looks like a male of Lucilia caesar or Lucilia illustris

There are a few characters I would like to see to be more sure, do you have any images from other angles? Like dorsal, or anterior?

Thank you Morten and Louis.
1. It's the only image I have.
2. It seemed to me that fly has too long legs and that abdomen is too hairy. It was the reason why I send this image on Dopreta forum.
Than, just Lucilla...
