Is the first time that I see this scene.

Today. Cloudy day. Pe?aflor, Aragon, NE Spain. Shrubby steppe-lands with Pinus patches and Retama, Rosmarinus, Tamarix, Genista dominating. More or less same size than Calliphora vicina (few smaller maybe).

Any helps will be much appreciated with the species ID.
