Hello, Nikita!

I can't see green metallic at all, my test colour is brown.
Perhaps I should have written "not green at all, but with a clearly metallic brillance". It is difficult to photograph, but in the light there was, depending on the ankle, sometimes a blue, sometimes a reddisch gloss. So for me it was "not as green" as
Lucilia, but as metallic.
May be it is Tachinidae, not Calliphoridae?
That idea came to my mind, too. But I could not find pictures of neither a similar looking Tachinid, nor Calliphorid. The most similar were some Muscids, but they have a different wing venation.
