photo of the head for the first specimen.

I thought something was off when I looked yesterday but now I have found it. This frontal picture is NOT of the first specimen given in this thread. The head picture indeed shows a piophilid but notice the absence of metallic shine on the specimen and the absence of orbital setae. Both are present in the first picture of the thread. It still seems likely to me that that picture is of a Calliopum.
