Well, Theo, I am just an aficionado with next to no knowledge about flies, but it was Isidro from Zaragoza who ID this fly to the Phasiinae subfamily.

Thanks Theo.

Interesting fly but my first guess was - Muscidae - too :)

Thanks Chris.

Yes, a Musca sp. My guess is Musca osiris/vitripennis, some with hairy eyes and rather black scutum...

Again thanks.
