Hi together,
is it possible to precisely identify this Lucilia? Photographed yesterday on a meadow in southwest Germany; Size approx. 8 mm.
Greetings Siggi

Hello Siggi, it's a male
Lucilia sericata.
(the pale basicosta is hard to see, but the broad frons and the green tergite 1+2 excludes
L. silvarum which also has 3 pairs of acr bristles)

Hi together
I posted this fly on INaturalist just yesterday as
Lucilia sericata. They think that can't be true. The reason given was: "2 anterodorsal bristles on the middle tibia". I compared my pictures online and found that the middle tibia on my fly looks exactly the same as on
Lucilia sericata. Which is correct?

Hi Eric,
the enlargement of the image shows two bristles. But I cannot tell if both are anterodorsal.
