We have both of these species of
Calliphora in New Brunswick, Canada; (May 2007)
Can be separated by the cheek colour and as Susan wrote
HERE

vomitaria] with a very narrow very white edge. Vicina has a broad white edge, so this feature can be useful when you don't have such a good view of the face. (Beware loewi and uralensis if in this situation of course.)
EDIT: the above comments were written when I thought one of the flies was
vomitoria. The fly is actually
Calliphora livida
