Hello,
I'm not sure, if this is the usual
C. vicina. Unfortunately no other angle available. Sunbathing on a tree trunk at forest border (northwest Germany).

The abundance of red hairs suggests
Calliphora vomitoria.

Tony is correct:
Calliphora vomitoria female
the basicosta is never wholly black on C. vicina. If the basicosta is dark brown, then the posterior edge is yellowish-brown on C. vicina.
In addition to the basicosta, the frontal vitta is too broad for C. vicina. If the frontal vitta is a little more than two times as wide as one fronto-orbital plate, then you look to C. vomitoria.
