How do you distinguish this photo from a metallic Muscidae? The native species of Calliphoridae in my area have at least 2 postsutural acrostichals while Muscidae commonly have 1 pair, but this appears to have only 1 pair.
I appreciate your comments and input of data to add.
I have said on several occasions that I have no knowledge or training in taxonomy. I can only compare images, with no more foundation than mere appearance. So I try to contrast my views with the knowledge and training you have the experts. And always respect the opinion of an expert.
So I can only see its resemblance to the existing image before Dintera Gallery Info.

Best Regards.
