Good Afternoon,

unfortunately I only have a picture from the side. But assume that it could be Calliphora vomitoria. Body length about 8 mm. Light pine forest in south-west Germany. Photo from July 2021.

Please confirm or correct.

Hello,

not vomitoria (no orange "beard", light halteres, no dark face). It is most likely Calliphora vicina (male).
Best regards,
Jürgen
