| | | Fly ID?
Can anyone tell me what this fly is?
I know its not the best picture for ID purposes.
There seems to be some orangey yellow spots on its back.

The first one looks like Delia radicum (Anthomyiidae). The second is a Calliphora - I can't see the colours properly on the photo to be sure whether it is C. vicina or C. vomitoria. |
