Found that male Calliphoridae this morning on the compost (Ansbach, close to Frankenhoehe Nature Park, old deciduous forest, 2021-11-10).
I think it's a Calliphora but it seems strange to me:
- size > 10 mm
- abdomen green
- parafacialia fine hairs on upper half (if at all)
- orange hairs on postgena
- basicosta black
- anterior spiracle dark
- veins darkened
Can it be loewi?

Good question: I thought, Onesia should have hairy parafacialia like Bellardia, but that was an error! The prest ia is weak and the post ia seem to be partly broken. Onesia is it (though I fear I must not call it floralis)! TumbsUp
Thank you very much, Theo!

Looks like a Calliphora subalpina.

Hopefully I may call it floralis as I've found evidence in my images using
Revision der Gattung Onesia (H. Schumann) - loosely translated:
"Crucial is also the distance between the compound eyes of the males: it's narrowest distance is longer than the distance between the hind ocelli"

and another one:
"Important is the male's absence of the ventral bristle on the mid tibia"

@EsinM: Thank you! I've excluded Calliphora subalpina as it should have more marginal scutellars.

I have some very similar copies, I can send them along with the flies for Theo. Or I can take a photo. It's very interesting to find out who it is. Such flies are very active in autumn near beer traps.

Your fly looks very similar to my Onesia - except the very blue colour of the abdomen and I'm not sure if there are 3 postsutural ia. But I couldn't find a Calliphora with dark basicosta, gena and a resembling frons - loewia's is narrower.

Oh, you got it pinned !
Simply check the number of post IA bristles.
Or make a sharp pic of the thorax.

I mentioned before that none of the exernal featues by Schumann work in mu material ( well, they work 75 %)

Thanks Theo, I remember your words about Schumann Wink
The pinned fly is from EsinM, Mordovia reserve, it resembles my fly.

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
