Dear forum,
I took these pictures today in my garden. Can it be further identified?
Best regards, Niek

Dear forum,
Let me add some comment in case this fly is too obvious to justify a reply. I posted it because I found it:
Not enough green (too blue) for Lucilia, cheeks not brown enough for Calliphora vicina, cheeks not enough black for Calliphora vomitoria. So I went to the gallery where my confusion became complete..........
Best regards, Niek

I agree, it does not look like Calliphoridae.
SO first step then is to consider Neomyia (Muscidae).

Dear Theo,
Thank you for your reply. So I went wrong from step 1....
I will continue with your suggestion.
Best regards, Niek

Further to my previous reply: Yes, it must be Neomyia, but I do not believe there are sufficient details visible on my pictures to go further than Neomyia sp.?
