Last weekend in a zone of mediterranean mountain with low and crystalline river. Attracted by bird drop in a fence, near Rubus ulmifolius in flower.
Arnes, Iberian System mountains, Castellon, E Spain.
Size as a Calliphora.
Metallic green abdomen.
Can somebody identify it?
Thanks!

I'd say Calliphoridae

Thanks Jorge! And the genus?
I see that DI is very stopped lately!

Looks like Protocalliphora :)

Obrigado Rui. Others said me the same, Protocalliphora azurea. However, is absolutely different to the fly that I have photographed as P. azurea (completely blue and a bit smaller).
