And it happened again Sad Every time I think I found a new Muscidae it turns to be Anthomyiidae. I have a large unit full of this kind of black and grey flies back home.
Thank You Stephane.

It is either Anthomyia procellaris or imbrida. Check the characterfs in my key leading to imbrida as below: The membranous projection on st5 in profile looks a bit square ended:

– Posterior margin of the lateral postsutural black spot on scutum distinctly indented just below the posterior intra-alar seta. Arista with longest hairs equal to basal thickness of arista. Hind tibia with more numerous ad setae (generally from 9–l5, occasionally more). sternite V in ventral view with the setae on inner margin of processes basally with longer uni- to biserial setae; in profile with wider membranous ventral lobe (somewhat square ended) and base forming a right angle with the sternite V process, and longer) lateral setae at base of processes imbrida Rond.

Thank You so much for Your answer. I had finally time to look at the species again and as You could quess we have a procellaris. Nice to have a name to it anyway.
