We present the first detailed chemical abundances for three giant stars which are candidate members of the Canis Major overdensity, obtained by using FLAMES-UVES at VLT. The stars, in the background of the open cluster NGC 2477, have radial velocities compatible with a membership to this structure. However, due to Galactic disc contamination, radial velocity by itself is unable to firmly establish membership. The metallicities span the range -0.5 less than or similar to [Fe/H] less than or similar to +0.1. Assuming that at least one of the three stars is indeed a member of CMa implies that this structure has undergone a high level of chemical processing, comparable to that of the Galactic disc. The most metal-rich star of the sample, EIS 6631, displays several abundance ratios which are remarkably different from those of Galactic stars: [alpha/Fe] similar to -0.2, [Cu/Fe] similar to +0.25, [La/Fe] similar to +0.6, [Ce/Fe] similar to +0.8 and [Nd/Fe] similar to +0.6. These ratios make it likely that this star was formed in an external galaxy.
