If you lighten up the first photo a lot, it seems that the basicosta is pale, the face reddish and there's a shifting pattern on tergite 3: probably C. vicina.

Hello Eric,
thanks! The pictures are already lightened up, and I thought, the basicosta was dark. I'm always looking forward to other
Calliphoras than the usual
vicina... B)
