Callliphoridae indeed: Chrysomyia.

I can't be sure, but it seems to be Ch. megacepaha. A female.

Very grateful for their identification. Smile
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.

Kind regards

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
