I'm not sure about the genus, but I have identificate some keys:

The fore tibia has 1 apical pv setae, pre-alar setae seem present, the hind tibia has many pv hairs, the hind femur has some av setae (I can't see all them), there's a short dark stripe on the scutum.

Please correct me if I wrong somethings!

Long about 6-7mm

There seems to be a row of pv setae on the hindtibia (t3)
Delia antiqua does not have such a row of pv on t3.
Delia platura has, but there are more Delia species with a row or rows of av and pv on t3, wich can be very simular on a photo.
The general look of this fly imply indeed a Delia species, but I think you need more sharp photos or species in hand to say maybe more.
The best way is just….photograph and …collect! (in particular for Anthomyiidae)

I have another shot by back, there I can to count the row and setae on T3: pv 22, av 9-10 and 3 pd + 1 pre-apical (I hope I haven't messed up).

Right now I have in my garden about 20-30 of this subject (all the same), so I'll shot and then collect Wink

Thank you for your help and the info.

Best regards,
Marcello
