Hello!
Here are several blue metallic flies found yesterday in Ostwestfalen/Germany on a meadow near a forest. Is it possible to restrict them to family or genus level? Thanks in advance!
The first one seems - from the wing venation - to be a Calliphorid. It was slightly larger and much bluer than a typical
Lucilia.
I'm not sure if this larger fly (13-15 mm) is a Calliphorid or perhaps a Tachinid:
The last one (sorry, bad picture) seems to be a Muscid (ca. 10 mm):
