Wondering wether it might be a Bengalia...

This is the field picture taken before I caught the fly. The fly was feeding on a ripen fruit of a local palm (Arenga engleri).

I disagree with Bengalia. Just jizz: it looks too peaceful, too feminine for Bengalia. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Catherine the Great was very feminine but not at all peaceful. But I asked Krzysztof Szpila (at least one of the best expert in Calliphoridae: Dear Nikita, For me it is Caiusa sp. (Calliphoridae: Phumosiinae). No chance for Bengalia. Edited by Nikita Vikhrev on 03-07-2020 14:09 Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
