Another Calliphoridae, could be Calliphora or Bellardia?? Size is around 10 mm, photos from Bodø (67 degrees north), northern Norway. Date is 15.07.2011.

Male Calliphora sp. The bend in M is very sharp, turning back on itself. Bellardia is not so exaggerated.

Thank you! If it's Calliphora, with white calypters it should be either C. subalpina or C. stelvania? A Norwegian entomologist has told me previously that there are only 3 species in Norway with white calypters (it should not be C. genarum because arista should be bare for that species...?).

I don't have much experience with Calliphora myself...
