 Thanks for the confirmation Susan!
But what makes it C. vicina and not C. vomitoria?
Best regards,

 The two things that stand out in this picture are the red face with black beard and the brown basicosta (at the base of the wing). C vomitoria would have a black face with red beard and a black basicosta. My impression is that C vicina is more synanthropic (more likely to be associated with human habitation), more tolerant of warmer temperatures and generally more widespread and common over a longer season - by far the majority of pictures of Calliphora will be C vicina. C vomitoria is not really uncommon, but tends to appear at higher altitudes and/or later in the year - although I would not discount you seeing vomitoria occasionally. I think C vomitoria is probably more picky about where it breeds too.
