Hello again,
I'm fairly sure this is Lucilia sp. But can someone give it a full ID?
3 pics: the 1st may be another fly!

~your photos shows clearly strong dc and ac so it is Lucilia sp.
#3
strong dc and ac so it is Lucilia sp.

because of the way that M vein bents? it seems like muscid...
again... fooled by a fly!
(muscidae are the guilty... or it can be Anthom... or it can be Callipho...)

no, mostly because of green-metallic shining frons and occiput. Also leg chaetotaxy not Lucilia's.
again... fooled by a fly!
I spend yesterday in attemps to ID Chrysomya from Thailand. Today I understood, that it is Neomyia
(N.lauta)
So, don't worry Jorge, you aren't the only person who was (and will) be foolished by fly

Hi Nikita,
You mentioned Neomyia lauta in your last reply. I'm afraid that this species doesn't seem to be indigenous in the Netherlands. I looked into the indigenous species of Neomyia in my country and only N. cornicina and N. viridescens are "Dutch" species. Can it be one of those perhaps?
Another question: does "Neomyia" also aply for the fly in the first picture?
Thanks!

1. N. cornicina - 3post dc, 1 prst ac, N.viridescens - post dc, 0 prst ac,
your fly - ?
2. I think Jorge is right, first fly is Lucilia
