the table at page 1089 is fantastic. link:

The acrostichal bristles, basicosta, mid tibia and palpi are the main features to look at when trying to identify Lucilia. Other features or genitalia are necessary for several species.

This one looks like caesar to me.


Thanks you very much for this document John and Nini ! :)
I will have a more closer look at it later
