 Hi everyone. I have this Calliphoridae - male Lucilia that I can't get to species. Is anyone able to help? East Europe 2024

Baricosta brown, Subcostal sclerite with black hairs, Tergite 1+2 blackish. But Tergite 3 does not have marginal bristles, Coxopleural streak missing, only 1 pair ACR bristles just before the scutellum.

There are also dark margins to each tergite, where the metallic colour stops and a strip of dark colour like tergites 1&2 appears.

And white hairs on the face, sides and underside of thorax and underside of abdomen

 It looks like subfamily Chrysomyinae to me.
