Hello Forum,
one more fly from the alder marshland in Hagen (D) 175 m above sea level. This photo I took on June 23rd 2007. The plant in the background is
Phalaris arundinacea
Is it a
Calliphoridae? Is a closer determination possible?
Best wishes
Josef

Looks like a
Lucilia male, but can't take it further with this photo.

it can be Chrysomyia... i don?t see any strong bristles on scutum.. but difficult to tell in this photo.

I really doubt it is
Chrysomyia.

Also
Chrysomyia does not have strong bristles on the abdomen - this fly seems to have some - that's why I think it's
Lucilia. ;)
