Hello,
this appr. 7 mm fly was found last year on June 22 in a sandy area north of Hannover, Germany. I have no idea what genus it is. Could you please help?
Thanks a lot!
Hans

Calliphoridae, maybe genus Pollenia. I am no specialist.

It's one of the few shiny black species with cell r4+5 closed. I think
Pollenia atramentaria
is the most likely in Germany.
