Can anyone help me with this one? I think it is Muscidae, but no idea from there.

Hi Susan.
I think it is Pollenia sp., Calliphoridae. Few red hairs on thorax, but chess-like colour of abdomen and venation...

Nikita's analysis in spot-on. Some
Pollenia specimens have very few curly hairs on the
mesonotum
but some are always present on the pleurae.

Oh yes - I see them now that you mention it. Thanks once again.
