I first called it Lucilia and now I'm not sure at all about its family ...
Is it a Calliphoridae, a Muscidae ... ?
Thanks in advance !! :)

It seems to be
Neomyia cornicina, this angle of view isn't the best.

Many thanks Stephane !! :)
I've checked my pictures but I ain't got other point of view of this one ...
shall I store it as
Neomyia cf.
cornicina ?
Thanks again !

Are there cows nearby?
Neomyia cornicina larvae develop only in cow dung.

Indeed, there are fields with cattle (cows) around 2 hundred meters in a straight from this garden ...
