Looks like Lucilia (Calliphoridae) to me, but wait for expert opinion.

My thanks for your answers and help. With this orientation, I'll edit the title.
Be possible to establish the species, or missing data for it.?

I admit, I have no knowledge to identify. But I see a very similar to this: http://www.dipter...to_id=2461Could be the same species.?

How do you distinguish this photo from a metallic Muscidae? The native species of Calliphoridae in my area have at least 2 postsutural acrostichals while Muscidae commonly have 1 pair, but this appears to have only 1 pair.

I appreciate your comments and input of data to add.
I have said on several occasions that I have no knowledge or training in taxonomy. I can only compare images, with no more foundation than mere appearance. So I try to contrast my views with the knowledge and training you have the experts. And always respect the opinion of an expert.
So I can only see its resemblance to the existing image before Dintera Gallery Info. http://www.dipter...to_id=2461 . But I recognize that I have no training or ability to answer your questions. Must be another expert in this kind of flies who can answer it. I am always attentive and willing to follow your conclusions of experts, always grateful for your help.
Best Regards.

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.
