Hi Albert.
Stomorhina (lunata?), Calliphoridae

I do not think there is any other species in Europe. So lunata it must be.

Thanks, Nikata.
The S. lunata seems to have an orange coloured abdomen. Is there a difference between males and females? I think mine is a female.

Albert, you are right !
Males are orange, female not.
