Hello!

This one resembles that from this thread:
http://www.dipter...ad_id=7803

I would say it's a Calliphora, but it was only 6-7 mm, considerably smaller than the also present Lucilia sp.! It came to sugar water in our garden yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks, Theo! I had Melinda here recently, but this one did not seem to match those finds exactly.
Best regards,
