Hi Urs.
It is Calliphoridae, I think Cynomya mortuorum.

When I send blue photo to Diptera.info I knew nothing, so Theo made ID. When, a month later, I met "green thorax" I regarded it as another species too, it was why Theo made ID second time.
So I understand your doubts better than anybody elseGrin
