Hello again,
I'm fairly sure this is Lucilia sp. But can someone give it a full ID?
3 pics: the 1st may be another fly!

because of the way that M vein bents? it seems like muscid... :S
:( again... fooled by a fly! :(
(muscidae are the guilty... or it can be Anthom... or it can be Callipho...)

no, mostly because of green-metallic shining frons and occiput. Also leg chaetotaxy not Lucilia's.
again... fooled by a fly!
I spend yesterday in attemps to ID Chrysomya from Thailand. Today I understood, that it is Neomyia :D (N.lauta) :@
So, don't worry Jorge, you aren't the only person who was (and will) be foolished by fly ;)

Hi Nikita,
You mentioned Neomyia lauta in your last reply. I'm afraid that this species doesn't seem to be indigenous in the Netherlands. I looked into the indigenous species of Neomyia in my country and only N. cornicina and N. viridescens are "Dutch" species. Can it be one of those perhaps?
Another question: does "Neomyia" also aply for the fly in the first picture?
Thanks!

2. I think Jorge is right, first fly is Lucilia
