Hello,
Today I met this blueish-metallic fly with calliphorid wing venation in my garden. As to the arrangement of setae on the thorax it could be a Protophormia. What do you say?
Many thanks, Sundew

Sorry, neither Protophormia, nor Calliphoridae - Eudasyphora cyanicolor, Muscidae Wink

Many thanks indeed, Sundew
