Hello kuv, please never think that i will be offended if you ask for other opinions. I make it very clear that I am not an expert or a Doctor of biology in any field. However, bear in mind that even experts misidentify animals at times. noone is perfect and this process is extremely difficult. We need teamwork and diptera.info is really a team. I encourage other reviews. I am not experienced with Protocalliphora or Protophormia, thus I make it clear that I could be wrong. I've actually corrected a few experts before. Noone is perfect and a misidentification cannot be used against an individual. Identification is extremely difficult at times even with genitalia. :) since I am not certain of this id, I leave it open for more experienced members.

I am never offended about a second opinion.
Have a great day and I hope that you can get a confirmation or a determination other than what is proposed. Team work :)
