Hello,

i had it once here for identification, and it was said that this is a Calliphora vicina, can we doublecheck it, if its Calliphora vicina for shure? Thank you in advance.

Best regards from munich,
Richard

No, Marko, neither Calliphora, nor Calliphoridae.
Arista is totally bare - it is Tachinidae, I think.

I admit, I was wondering it it might be a tachinid ... but I can't think of one that matches those characters: protruding mouth edge, bare eyes & arista, triangle of bristles on the humeral callus, hairy/bristly face, very bristly mouth edge, relatively short antennae etc. But then I might be being deceived by the lack of scale (no indication of size anywhere) and the lack of a good dorsal photo showing the abdomenal & scutellar bristles. The lower photo doesn't help much either because the depth of focus is very shallow and it appears to contradict some of the things in the upper photo ... very confusing so I can't give any ID, sorry. It might help if there were more photos with better depth of focus, taken from a little further away.

Can't be sure, but it lacks Tachinid-jizz.
To me, it might be Sarcophagidae, something like Brachycoma.
So maybe we are barking up the wrong tree

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
