    Wow! Great, what a size! I'm not a specialist in Diptera, but I think that this one is very far from Calliphora vicina... Posted 9 years ago

        Calliphora vicina is blue so it is not the one.

    I fancy Paradejeania rutilioides (Jaennicke, 1867). The size is right. May not be it, but it is close. Definitely a Tachinid though.

    I think you are out of luck finding a species ID.
