Hello!

This was a very large, dark Calliphora female. But I think it is nevertheless C. vicina again (?). (Novemver-15, Ostwestfalen/Germany.)

The face color seems to vary a lot among the individuals. Some have reddish face, others have white, yet others black and white. I wonder if this has to do something with aging, or is just an individual variation.

Most C. vicinas here have a yellowish to flesh coloured face. But it seems that there is really some darkening to more red in older individuals. This one seems to be rather worn, too.
