Hi, this image was taken at Martin Down a couple of years ago in late summer. I thought it was a greenbottle, but i'm pretty certain its not Lucilia spp.

Can anybody offer any thoughts? The widely spaced eyes made me think it may be something different, or is this a male/female difference?

Thanks

Richard

No Richard, it isn't Lucilia, but Calliphoridae-looking Muscidae, Neomya sp.
