one of the three problematic Lucilia but it should be either caesar or illustris. The frons appears to be as wide as the parafacialia (Rognes) which indicates L. illustris but I prefer genitalia for an id. Without genitalia, we can only say Lucilia cf illustris. Maybe I am too tired to judge it correctly :)

I have noticed something interesting about ampullacea but I will need to study many specimens to see if the feature is reliable. Still, I doubt that it is ampullacea.
