In one of the images I think I can see the onset of a spine on the hind tibia. That would make it Copromyza.

No, the small dark streak you can see at the transition from the tibia to the metatarsus on the other side.

I thank you for the job you did Paul, but I am not sure to see something obvious !
So I can believe in Copromyza sp. ?

I'd say so but if you have the specimen and send it I can confirm to species level.
