 In a clearing in woodland near Guisborough, North Yorkshire, UK, on 2010-08-08.
Thorax looks too blue for Calliphora vomitoria or C. vicina.

 But, if I understand correctly, it is the male Protocalliphora azurea that are supposed to be noticably blue, and this is a female. Does that make any difference?
