Can't help with ID, but there's some fungus on it, on the abdomen. Maybe Entomophtora or related. Walter |

I agree. Look at the very dark calyptrae and the bluish tergite 3, this must be Calliphora spec. with some aberration at abdominal tip. Theo |

Precisely I though this would be an easy one to id because of the contrasting coloration in the abdomen, I hadn't imagined this was due to fugus infestation! Withouth it it's just another difficult black fly... Thank you very much! Aleix |
