Hello!

On Sunday (sunny, 6 °C) I took many Calliphora pictures (most of them much better than these... B)), hoping that these winter days I would find some other species than vicina. But all turned out to have a perfectly pink or yellow face :|. This is the only one, I'm not sure of. A male that tried to escape by letting itself drop... At house, northwest Germany.
