With those pale hairs on the thorax it should be Pollenia (Calliphoridae), but it is more shiny than any Pollenia I have seen.

Very grateful, John Carr. Under the guidance that tells me, I'll change the title to help them more easily identifiable.

The appearance of the fly, was indeed, very dark and shiny, like metal. It is also possible that the use of flash, increase the brightness.
