Bluebottle fly? - Calliphora vomitoria

Bluebottle fly? - Calliphora vomitoria
Elkton, Douglas County, Oregon, USA
April 30, 2009
Size: 1/2 inch +/-
Couldn't get a dorsal shot. Any chance of ID? My guess is some sort of bluebottle, and if I'm not mistaken, it has orange/brown chin whiskers.

If it has the yellow whiskers
If it has the yellow whiskers on the chin, then it is Calliphora vomitoria. At the very least it is Calliphoridae, and probably Calliphora.
