I am aware of large intraspecific size variations, but this one was especially small in comparison to some
Calliphora vicina around.
Is this a
Calliphora at all?

Hi Lorin,
I think, this is simply
Calliphora vicina. I found 5 mm specimens, but they still were
C. vicina...

Basicosta clearly yellow, so no doubt.
Size of adult depends on food supply in larval stage.

Thanks Theo, such an easy marker and I forgot to use it!
(however, basically relying on the British key - not sure what additional species might occur in eastern Austria...)
