Sardinia, 2nd April 2011, flowery grassland. This looked like a very ordinary calliphorid until it flew... I think Gonia atra. Should be an Autumn Gonia sp? but I see Jorge had a Spring one in 2008 --- http://www.dipter...d_id=12050 Also, I see that some of the other sp. can have melanistic forms... sd attached the following image:  [123.05Kb] |
