 Hello everyone!

I think the genus Lucilia is correct, right? Is a more precise identification possible?

Size: 5-6 mm
Date found: January 8, 2026
Habitat: on asters in a herbaceous area between coastal rocks and the road
Location: coast near Los Silos, Tenerife

 Likely Lucilia - but not enough details to be sure.
