Callliphoridae indeed: Chrysomyia.

I can't be sure, but it seems to be Ch. megacepaha. A female.

Very grateful for their identification. Smile
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.

Kind regards

Dear Piluca. Thank you very much for your help to identify this fly. Grin

An affectionate greeting,

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
