I saw this close to my previous blackish fly. Only, this one was in Birch-Oak forest on sand dunes near the river Meuse. Rather large, Calliphora-sized. Do the pictures suffice for an ID?

Well, I hope at least the family level could be resolved...?

This looks very like Blepharipa pratensis. See http://www.dipter...ad_id=6825

It does look familiar but I'd like to see a few different angles Smile

Excellent call, by the way
