Is we said many times in Insectarium, identify Lucilia is IMPOSSIBLE by picture. Maybe if you have the collected specimen you can send to a specialist for determine with the genitalia.

It is not impossible, but it is very difficult unless you have several images and from just the right angles. I would say that this is most probably L sericata, but I cannot be certain. A more straight on lateral shot of the mid tibia would help a lot.
