To me it could be a Calliphorid with a round M-bend, long gena and projecting lip. Perhaps if I keep guessing Melinda I'll get one right one day :S

Dear Sara, I'm always happy that trying to help me and also Chris' reaction is well appreciated!!
If you say nothing I have nothing, if you have a opinion we can reflect it and come to a suggestion for determination. It's my fault that my pictures are not so clear, but some flies don't give a perfect position...!!
In addition to that I find it always hard to decide myself what fly it is. But if someone says it may be this and this...then I compare and at this forum mostly I can agree..:)

Also for this fly I think it may be a Melinda fly, as the back is blueish..

So Sara and Chris, thank you both!!

Regards,
Hedy

Sara, I hope you didn't think the :S was for you! It was the memory of all the embarrassment Melinda has caused me in the past. For some reason it's a very confusing fly, and I may be wrong yet again :D

Hedy, will you promise to blame Chris for all my mistakes? ;)

What a replies.... :) :) and my confusion:

Stephen, I wrote Chris but ofcourse in this topic I mean you...!! Chris and Stephane are my pilers too, as they help me a lot and this is not the first time I confuse in names... :S Maybe 21.29h is too late for me to give reaction... Now I should put a sleeping smiley, but it is not in the row, haha...

Thank you Sara and Stephen for the nice reactions!!

Regards,
Hedy

I can confirm it is not a Muscidae. It is a Calliphorid, but the parafacialae seem a bit too broad for a Melinda in my opinion. In another hand, I don't know what if not Melinda.
