Hello,
I photographed this fly in Bazzano (AQ), Italy, on October 27th 2022. I think it is a Calliphoridae, but is it possible to identify its genus or species from these photos?
Thank you in advance,
Emanuele

Looks like some special Bellardia. Note the topcel is petiolated , shoild be a big clue.

It cries out Calliphoridae, arista plumose, parafacial hairy, bent in vein m evenly curved, projecting mouth margin …
I would be surprised.

Thanks Theo, I believe you. You're the expert. But a plumose arista occurs even in Tachina, if I remember well. Best, Ton
