Scathophaga callida or litorea if I see wal some well defined acrostichal rows. The end of the abdomen suggests a male ? In this case, S. litorea...

I appreciate your information and help. And I regret that the limitation of my knowledge, does not allow me to take advantage of at its full value.

As I have no ability to discern between alternatives which tells me, I can only add cuts extended parts of the fly that you are telling me interesting.
Perhaps yourself, or some other specialist, could with it reach conclusions.

Best regards from southern Spain.
