hello Flyforum,
It's almost freezing outside but the sun brought me some flies on my balcony.
Is it Calliphora vicina?
Looks a bit like it..
Robert,

Brown basicosta and reddish cheeks so I would say C vicina. The anterior spiracle isn't terribly bright, but it does seem to be brownish, and the beard doesn't seem to be really black, but I think is greyish, so I guess that's OK for vicina too. I'm a bit nervous now though that Theo has designated me as wizard.:)

Hi Susan,
Nice to inform me about some characteristics of C. vicina.
You could be right.
I'll name it C. Vicina and put a little questionmark after it!
thanks a lot for your help,
Robert Heemskerk,
