Hi, I'm lost with this fly and hope, someone can help with the identification.
My first impression was Calliphora - but I cannot find a match.
Colour very blue like Protophormia, but I see the achrositcals very well.
Face and posterior spiracle dark - but no orange beard.
(On house wall sunbathing, Ansbach, DE-Middle-Franconia, close to old deciduous forest, 2020-10-03)

Thanks a lot for any help.

Greetings, Eric

So did you consider Protocalliphora ?

I did, but I looked only at the females ;)
Here's a male from 2018-09-17 - perfect match!

Thanks a lot again, Theo!
