Can you confirm or reject Lucilia sericata?

A lateral view would help a little bit. Most Lucilia look quite similar from above. So I think it is not safe to say anything more than L sp. female.

Does this help?

What keys should I search to identify Lucilia sericata?

I would say L sericata - pale basicosta, wide frons, 3 post sutural acr, single ad on t2.

You can use Rognes Blowflies (Diptera, Calliphoridae) of Fennoscandia and Denmark, Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica 1991 or Whitworth Keys to the Genera and Species of Blow Flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of America North of Mexico, Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 2006.

There is a link to Whitworth in this thread: http://www.dipter...ad_id=8169
