Photo from Jerusalem, 30 Oct 2018. Maybe Chrisomya albiceps, or perhaps Lucilia sericata? Both are known here; what are the identifying features? Sorry for the low quality. dror attached the following image:  [299.59Kb] Edited by dror on 19-01-2019 12:06 |

Clearly a Chrysomyia. Looks like Ch. albiceps, as far as I can tell. Theo |

Most Chrysomyinae have weak hairs instead of distinct bristles on top of the thorax. Calliphorinae and Lucilia have typical muscoid bristles in clear rows much stronger than background hairs. |

And in western Palaearctic: black hind margins on tergites indicate Chrysomyia (not true elsewhere !) Theo |
