In first time I think Calliphoridae but it has so strong bristle to be anything other that tachinid.
Think I good ?
Thanks

Rhinophoridae?

Why not simply Muscidae?

Why not simply Muscidae?

because I don't know such a looking Muscidae (such a curved M + black color)

squamae seems to be big for Rinophoridae... and there is no petiole..

Let's return to the very first thought:
Calliphoridae.
What about Melinda ?

(it's 100 % not Tachinidae or Rhinophoridae, so technically not in my league)

It's time for me to buy some books about fly.
I don't know where I can find some picture of Melinda.
Thanks Theo

Use the 'search'button. Melinda has been posted before.

Melinda is blue, I'm not sure yours is, so there is some doubt

Bellardia viarum is a possibility here I think.

I think it is the best idea so far:@

(Blackis + greenish ;))

It is blue but I had read the post about Calliphora uralensis so I note it is Bellardia.
Best regards
