Yes, looks like a Calliphorid. Beyond that, you are on your own (unless you collected some). Silvery abdominal tip should be a big clue. Theo |

Hello Nacho and Theo, so what is wrong with Pollenia? only Onesia would be black like this and it is not an Onesia sp. Best wishes, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

Well, it is from Morocco, so I am cautious.... Parafacial seems a bit narrow for Pollenia. Theo |

Pollenia leclercqiana has been recorded from Morocco by Lehrer (I think so). Lehrer describes Pollenia leclercqiana as having a petiolate, closed or open r4+5. To my knowledge, only the atramentaria group is black, so it should be Pollenia leclercqiana. It certainly isn't amentaria/moravica, atramentaria or vera. genitalia is better in this case. I am not an expert but I think that Polenia fits well Best wishes and Happy Holidays, John John and Nini. Naturalists not experts. |

thanks a lot!! Actualy I didn't think in Pollenia, but it seems to fit very well. Nevertheless I'm agree with Theo about to be cautious with african flies (with the european ones too,  ) |
