Hi Jorge.
I'd suppose Hydrotaea of Muscidae. But intersting to know what Kahis thinks...

if Hydrotaea why doesn?t appear in diptera.info gallery at least one photo?
I?m curious about the frons in M shape. :)

Hydrotaea ignava (formerly called
Ophyra leucostoma). The lustrous black colour and the large, brilliant frontal triangle are typical for the species formerly placed in Ophyra.
Edit: make that
Hydrotaea sp. near
ignava. There are some mediterranean species in the group that look rather like
ignava.
