Melinda or Bellardia. Have you got an image that shows for sure what colour the palps are? I'm leaning slightly more towards Melinda because the palps don't look black, the abdominal reflections are blue and the face doesn't seem to be hairy all over.

hi Susan, Difficult to see the palps.., but they seems to be dark (black) from what I can see.. Here are pictures where you can see a bit of the palps.

IN my non-scientific appproach of Calliphoridae, also known as gut feeling it is blue, it is slender, so it must be Melinda Theo |

Thank you Theo for your reaction. This calliphoridae is indeed rather small and quite blue.. I can call it Melinda sp.
