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

Hi Nikita,
perhaps there is a difference between male and female? Flys with the long abdomen i know only from the second part of the year, the foto is from the 20. September an then i can find it till November. in spring i have never seen it.
Anyway i think you are rigth it is Cynomya mortuorum.
Many thanks!
Greetings from Switzerland,

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 else:D
