Hello!
Only one picture of this, hope it is good enough to give some clues as I am clueless! Thanks :)

Not Calliphoridae. I would say probably
Dasyphora (Muscidae).

Janet – I've now seen your other post where Nikita has suggested Eudasyphora praetorum. This one could be the same I expect. Nikita knows these species better than me.

Thanks Susan, I had looked carefully to see if the wing veination was the same but it looked more angled on this one (could be just the viewing angle!), where the other had a swerve at the end of whichever vein it is. I took the pics about two minutes apart and as far as I can remember they looked to be different flies, but I could be wrong! :D
