I guess this is a Calliphoridae fly, maybe a ''Lucilia caeser". Am I right?

Thanks for the help.

Not caesar. Almost certainly sericata - I think that for once enough of the diagnostics are clearly visible in a photo to make a good guess.

Creamy yellow basicosta, mid tibia with single anterodorsal bristle, tergites conspicuously dusted with reflection dividing down the median line, 3 postsutural acrostical bristles, broad frons. Female.

Please put this photo in the gallery - it so clearly shows the appearance of the dusting.
