To me it could be a Calliphorid with a round M-bend, long gena and projecting lip. Perhaps if I keep guessing Melinda I'll get one right one day awkward

Dear Sara, I'm always happy that trying to help me and also Chris' reaction is well appreciated!!
If you say nothing I have nothing, if you have a opinion we can reflect it and come to a suggestion for determination. It's my fault that my pictures are not so clear, but some flies don't give a perfect position...!!
In addition to that I find it always hard to decide myself what fly it is. But if someone says it may be this and this...then I compare and at this forum mostly I can agree..Smile

Also for this fly I think it may be a Melinda fly, as the back is blueish..

So Sara and Chris, thank you both!!

Regards,
Hedy

Sara, I hope you didn't think the awkward was for you! It was the memory of all the embarrassment Melinda has caused me in the past. For some reason it's a very confusing fly, and I may be wrong yet again Grin

Hedy, will you promise to blame Chris for all my mistakes? Wink

What a replies.... Smile Smile and my confusion:

Stephen, I wrote Chris but ofcourse in this topic I mean you...!! Chris and Stephane are my pilers too, as they help me a lot and this is not the first time I confuse in names... awkward Maybe 21.29h is too late for me to give reaction... Now I should put a sleeping smiley, but it is not in the row, haha...

Thank you Sara and Stephen for the nice reactions!!

Regards,
Hedy

I can confirm it is not a Muscidae. It is a Calliphorid, but the parafacialae seem a bit too broad for a Melinda in my opinion. In another hand, I don't know what if not Melinda.
Stephane.
