Calliphoridae? (16.03.22) --> Melinda sp. (f)
Juergen Peters
Hello,

I am sorry to bother you again with such bad pictures Frown. This 10 mm fly rested on a stone at the forestborder this afternoon (northwest Germany). Seems too slender and thorax too blue for Calliphora. Could it be a female Protophormia terraenovae?

I normally see Melinda first on sloe and later on hawthorn blossoms, and the sloe buds are only of pinhead size here these days...
Best regards,
Jürgen
