Difficult to say... To exclude Rhinophora lepida (Rhinophoridae) we need a better picture of the wing venation. Given that there is no petiole on the median vein (which would exclude the former), we have to think of Tachinidae: Phania funesta that, however, should have no silvery dusting on the abdomen, and Gastrolepta anthracina with a sharp angle in the median vein, which is recognizable. Theo should have the last word... (Change the title to attract him!)

thanks to Sundew and John Carr for their answer.
I'll change the title and wait for another opinion.

hello Nacho Cabellos,

thanks for your opinion,

I know with this two fotos it would be a great problem to identify this sweety,:S
but I wait for Theo's opinion!

best wishes

I am inconclusive.
It could very well be a dark female Thelaira, but 'could be'. is not an identification.

Hello Theo,

with this two poor fotos it was a try to get a name for this fly,
and it is for us no problem if it is not possible,
so the best we can do is Tachinidae sp.

thanks a lot for your tireless work,

greetings
