Hi

This fly was photographed in Spain by Martin.

I'm clueless about this fly... it is clear that M vein is strongly bent... I'm not sure if it could be a Calliphoridae - I doubt it... or really a Tachinidae. The fly is very small hence the bad quality of the photo.
Nevertheless seems an unusual fly...

My guess is something close to Gastrolepta :)

(so no obscurities)

Thanks. :)
There is only one Gastrolepta cited for Spain: G. anthracina.
