Hello,
Today I met this blueish-metallic fly with calliphorid wing venation in my garden. As to the arrangement of setae on the thorax it could be a Protophormia. What do you say?
Many thanks, Sundew

Sorry, neither Protophormia, nor Calliphoridae - Eudasyphora cyanicolor, Muscidae ;)

You need not be sorry, Nikita, I must - the fly looked so calliphoridish... Well, I don't count my errors and enjoy the knowledge of a new species instead! :D
Many thanks indeed, Sundew
