I am not sure, but looks like a Melinda (Calliphoridae). So cahnge the title and wait for help.

Many thanks for your information.
With the guidance that tells me, change the title to try to go further in such identification.

Kind regards

I agree with Theo and you have both viridicyanea and gentilis.

i think that it has a presutural ia but i can't say so with certainty. The frons is quite narrow and coupled with a perceived presutural ia (far side laying low, near side looks like a socket) we have M. gentilis male. In doubt, Melinda cf gentilis male.

Best wishes,

I appreciate your information, with which I edit the title to favor other opinions, and add another photograph, to try to clarify doubts, although I do not know if this new photo helps ....

Best wishes,

yes the photo helps: there is no ia so it is a male Melinda viridicyanea.

the prs ia can be difficult to see at times, so a good dorsal is best with this genus. I don't know what is at this prs ia position in the first photo. I see a slender black smudge, so i want to be careful with judgement. The second photo makes it obvious that a prs ia does not exist. Thank you for adding the photo.

Best wishes,
John
