Sarcophagidae looks wrong ... and I'm fairly sure it isn't a tachinid ... maybe a calliphorid?

Thank Chris,
There was my first idea but I didn't find which Tachinidae.
With the key of Theo, I get the genera :
Dexiosoma,
Dexia,
Phyllomyia or
Thelaira.
According with the gallery, maybe
Thelaira, but I'm not convinced.
Your opinion ?

Well, that's the problem - it isn't
Thelaira or
Dexiosoma or
Dexia - it's the wrong shape and colour. The wing venation just reminds me of Calliphoridae. :)

Many thanks Chris
I take Calliphoridae.
Is it possible to guess the genera (13 in Belgium according to Fauna Europaea) ?
I have other pictures but I don't know which features are useful.
Best regards
Éric

Perhaps
Calliphora vicina. Do you have a lateral view ?

Calliphora vicina or
Calliphora vomitoria. The gray cheeks and gray "basicosta" make me think of the second kind (
C. vomitoria). We need a lateral view. ;)

It is Calliphora and it could be C. loewi.
Any chance of another shot ? Lateral, as Roberto wishes ?

Unfortunately, this ugly beast turned tail before any other picture
Many thanks, Christine, Roberto and Theo
