It's blue-green.:D The thorax of blue bottle fly is grayish. But you might want to try using a dichotomous key for this. :) http://www.nku.edu/~dahlem/ForensicFlyKe...

Hi Veronica, the color is obviously blue and not green.

Based on Leana Lahom-Cristobal's pictures, that's a green bottle fly of the genus Lucilia.:)
