Thanks Paul, could you tell me what you've seen on my pictures to go to Ephydridae ?

Absence of swollen first tarsal segment of hind leg; dorsal rays on arista; distinct greenish metallic sheen on body (not in Western European Sphaeroceridae).

Thanks :)
And Psilopa because R2+3 is curved like this ?

No, because it resembles similar flies identified in the forum as Psilopa and Psilopa has very small species.
