Hello! These flies were numerous on flowers yesterday here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. They were considerably smaller than a Calliphora, more like a Lucilia. What genus could they be? Thanks!

Hi Juergen. May be fly is rather black than blue, and belong to Tachinidae than Calliphoridae? Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

In reality they looked rather black, but on all my photos they show this blueish brillance.

This reminds me of Epicampocera succincta - see http://www.dipter...post_12338. I haven't got a good record on tachinids, so wait for confirmation!
