Hello! Unfortunately I could take only this photograph, before this fly flew away (today at banana bait in our garden, northwest Germany), and the wing venation is not visible very well. Size of a normal house fly, I first thought of one of the many Muscina levida there. But it has a bluish shine on the thorax and lacks the orange tip at the scutellum. So what could it be? A rather small Calliphora? Or possibly some other Calliphorid?

Does not look like Calliphora ( the genus) to me, but difficult to see. The bend in vein M seems broadly rounded, which, indeed, would suggest Muscidae. Could be something like Phormia regina, though. Theo |

Looks like Muscina without red tipped scutellum indeed...
