No, Calliphoridae (metallic shine). But I can't say more.

I agree - it can't be a tachinid - change the title to attract Susan ;)

Umm...I think it is
Pollenia sp. The bend in M is not almost turning back on itself as
Calliphora would, and the specimen seems to me to have golden hairs all over. I think it might be one of the
Pollenia that don't have a strong tessellated pattern on the abdomen though eg
amentaria. Looks like it might have more than 4 pairs of marginal scutellar bristles too, which is right for
amentaria. The metallic shine is the sort of bronzy patina that
Pollenia sometimes develop. Just a thought.

Hello, all!
The metallic shine is the sort of bronzy patina that Pollenia sometimes develop.
To me it seems clearly green all over the body, reminding me somehow of the
Phormia regina in the gallery:
http://www.dipter...to_id=2943. But that's only a non-expert thought...

The thought crossed my mind too, but it is a more stocky individual, the chaetoxy isn't quite right (too many bristles) and the basicosta is dark (would be pale in Phormia).
