Last year I took this picture of a Calliphora which is now on the wikipedia. Can anyone confirm if it is Calliphora vomitoria or if it is really some other species?
kind regards,
Jens Nielsen

Difficult to be absolutely certain, but I think
vomitoria is the most likely species

If it is not vomitoria, what are the alternatives, and how do I tell?
I realise I made another picture with a close-up of the head, perhaps this helps with identification.

Hello Jens,
With that reddish beard on a dark face I think it must be
vomitoria.
