Found at the edge of mixed beech forrest. 10th April 2023 Konstanz Germany Lake Constance area Position 47.692528 N, 9.177509E 480 m above sea level. Sorry, no dorsal photo available. I am total beginner. If possible and not too much work for you, I would appreciate a short comment on what I could have done better to make ID possible. Thank you in advance!

I think subfamily Calliphorinae. |

Hello, the photos are good for ID, of course a dorsal view and a dorsal view from behind would be very useful, too. Here, I'm confident that it is a female Melinda viridicyanea (Melanomyinae): - metallic blue - calypters white - palps black - presutural intraalar bristle absent - female's frons narrower than an eye (from above) ("Blow flies" by Olga Sivell, 2021) Greetings, Eric Kloeckner |

We don't have Melinda in America. Our Melanomyinae are very dull flies, hard to recognize as Calliphoridae. |
