A female Calliphoridae... and I am lost. I cannot tell even the genus :S The closer I can get is to Bellardia but doesn't convince me.

Olleros de Alba, León province (NW Spain) on 02.V.2016.

Help, please! Thanks in advance! ;)

Another view, not very different from the previous one (sorry) but this is all it allowed before it took off.

Melinda sp. ?

I am also in doubt.
It is either a Melinda or a weird Protocalliphora female, I think.

Thanks a lot, Stéphane and Theo!! :)

Yes, it has to be Melinda sp. Size did mislead me as it looked bigger than usual and I ruled out the possibility (big mistake on my part). But looking carefully, it makes sense and really fits |t
