Manuel, it is not Calliphoridae. Look at the petiole on the wing Wink Looks like Tachinidae to me. In fact, I dare to say it is one of my golden dreams: Kirbya moerens.

Hope I won't have to go awkwardawkwardawkwardawkwardawkward later on Grin

It looks exactly like the fly that I caught near Sorrento and I am calling it (rightly or wrongly) Kirbya moerens Smile They seem to have quite a distinctive way of sitting - nice photos! Smile
