Hello,
I have found this species while it was wander at home and a kind of fungus closed its mouthparts. :S
Would you please confirm the species? Who knows what kind of fungus attacked to it?
Thanks so much for your help. :)

Not sure really but, as a general use, it is easier to identify specimens when they are dry. The liquid dulls all colours and dusting so it is difficult to tell :)

Ok, thanks so much Chris, I hope I can take some photos to this species while is dry. :)

The fungus is impossible for identification, too? :|

I think this is no fungi, but are caused by fluids that have come from the mouth itself. Food or food juices could have stick to the mouthparts in the moisture.

information about size would be helpful. Cynomya mortuorum is one of the bigger Calliphorids with up to 18 mm. The face is yellow-golden

Yes, it was almost the same size. and its face also, just because of that problem on its mouthparts, has been a bit dirty. Thank you very much. :)
