Please, can someone identify the species of this fly? The picture is taken on 10th of October 2012 in Serbia.
Thanks.

With the reddish spiracle on the side of the thorax just behind the eyes it looks like Calliphora vicina: http://www.dipter...oto_id=592 (but I am not an expert).

It is not possible to see the anterior spiracle from this view (this must be a pollen bead or an artefact). Moreover, the basicosta is black, this exclude C. vicina. Calliphora sp. is enough with this unique picture.
