Hello
Why not Eurychaeta palpalis ?

In this work ; British blowflies (Calliphoridae) and woodlouse flies (Rhinophoridae) (Steven Falk draft key March 2016).pdf pages 18 et 38.
- p. 18 : lower part of parafacialia with some very long and strong bristles => Eurychaeta palpalis
p. 38 : E. muscaria is a central and southern European species with much broader parafacialia that only bear a single strong bristle (3-4 present in E. palpalis).

therefore parafacialia with several strong bristles this should be Eurychaeta palpalis.
