large fly
interesting thought, although from review of collection, i would think its more likely Calliphoridae, possibly down to Calliphora or Lucilia.
There is a deep blue green tint to the body . I am only a retired physician turned nature photographer, so i profess no expertise, just curiosity and interest.
