Hi,

last weekend (27.october.2007) i was in a small reserve from Romania.
Turda Gorges, limestone area, 500->700m.
photographed in vegetation close to water edge.

i think is some species of Lucillia but i don't know to go furter.
small, ~7mm
not succeed to collect that exemplary.

thanks in advance for the help,

Hi Cosmin. This is Neomyia cornicina (Muscidae) - the very broad metallic green parafrontalia are a good indicator that it's not Lucilia, and the abdominal bristles are not as strong
