I would appreciate the ID of this blowfly. It was on the flowers of Chamelaucium uncinatum

Thanks

There are several species in the genus Calliphora that can have a similar appearance, and I am not familiar enough with that group to be confident of a specific i.d. see http://www.terrain.net.nz/friends-of-te-henui-group/local-flies/fly-brown-blowfly.html for an example.
