This is the only picture I managed to take of this character, but I hope it's enough to tell what it is...

Taken in the outskirts of Gij�n, N Spain, on September the 10th, 2011. It was sat on a wall in an open area with fields and houses.

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide me with, cheers

Sorry to be so late thanking you, Theo, I've been too busy.

So, it's Calliphora vicina! So I thought when I spotted it, but in the picture looked too slim and long-legged to my amateur eyes, I've only just started to take pictures of flies this year, and I know still too little about them! :(

Thank you again, cheers
