It looks underpigmented, but structurally similar. It may be freshly emerged from pupa. I have seen that color on a fly that otherwise looked like a typical shining green Calliphoridae. |

The scutellum of Actina chalybea has four black spines (very well see it here http://www.dipter...to_id=6545). Here it is also clearly visible in the second picture (only spines arn't black). So may be this is really underpigmented specimen. Thanks! Edited by spectre on 19-05-2012 00:44 |

My first guess, from the milky wings and the pale integument, was that this is a teneral (freshly emerged) fly.
