Looks like Calliphoridae; similar to Pollenia pediculata in the Gallery.

A very worn version of this one?

Hmm, not Sarcophaga ... as Roger says, maybe a worn calliphorid but also perhaps a Dexiine, like Estheria or Billaea?

In fact I was thinking about that one myself too Roger, I looked at that picture of Pollenia sp and wondered if it could be the same...

Well... I guess there will be no name for this one then...

I did forget to mention the size, but I think it was around 1cm. Been a little time and some other flies inbetween, so I'm not sure anymore...

Indeed Chris, it could easyli be ano of those too... :p I guess Diptera indet is a good name for this one too then ;)

Thanks for replies both of you...

I'd try changing the title a little to attract the other tachinid experts, just in case :)

the abdomen definitely looks greenish, so I expect it to be a female Bellardia (thus Calliphoridae)
