Hi This fly was photographed in Spain by Martin. I'm clueless about this fly... it is clear that M vein is strongly bent... I'm not sure if it could be a Calliphoridae - I doubt it... or really a Tachinidae. The fly is very small hence the bad quality of the photo. Nevertheless seems an unusual fly...

My guess is something close to Gastrolepta 
Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

Thanks. There is only one Gastrolepta cited for Spain: G. anthracina. |
