The head of Nikita's fly look much more whiter than mine.

Is it because it's a female or maybe I got something diffrent? could be lucilia sericata?

Hello,
I think the main criterion for
Chrysomya is the dark margin on the posterior end of the tergites.

And the sub family Chrysominyiae body shape and the lack of thoracic bristles compared to Lucilia.
Zcuc - you may have a different species to Nikita - I don't know what the choices are with you. I'm inclined to think the difference in colour is just a difference in light conditions though.
