Don't think so, much smaller and no deep orange cheeks.

The first one seems to be another fly, like a Melinda. Second one is more likely a Calliphora vomitoria (basicosta is black, red beard). Stephane. |

Finnaly, it should be the same fly, just a bit more lightened on second picture, and the deflection of vein M is too "smooth" for a Calliphora. So Melinda is my guess.

That's what I thought, but my memory could have failed me.  Can I ask what is needed to id Melinda spp., or should I settle with sp. like with Pollenia? Thank you. Edited by cyprinoid on 13-01-2010 20:54 Hyperbolizer |

I can't see a lot of features to give a definte ID, but it seems to have a presutural intra-alar, the frons is rather wide, I would say (if I was forced to) M. gentilis.
