No, Calliphoridae (metallic shine). But I can't say more.
Best regards,

I agree - it can't be a tachinid - change the title to attract Susan Wink

Umm...I think it is Pollenia sp. The bend in M is not almost turning back on itself as Calliphora would, and the specimen seems to me to have golden hairs all over. I think it might be one of the Pollenia that don't have a strong tessellated pattern on the abdomen though eg amentaria. Looks like it might have more than 4 pairs of marginal scutellar bristles too, which is right for amentaria. The metallic shine is the sort of bronzy patina that Pollenia sometimes develop. Just a thought.

Hello, all!

The metallic shine is the sort of bronzy patina that Pollenia sometimes develop.


To me it seems clearly green all over the body, reminding me somehow of the Phormia regina in the gallery: http://www.dipter...to_id=2943. But that's only a non-expert thought...
Best regards,
Jürgen

The thought crossed my mind too, but it is a more stocky individual, the chaetoxy isn't quite right (too many bristles) and the basicosta is dark (would be pale in Phormia).
