Lucilia? Where I live similar Muscini come with one pair of acrostichals, not two, and normally a less sharp bend in M.

Lucilia of course belong to the most abundant flies here in summer. But I have never seen one with blue in its colour. They range from golden green to a bronze touch, when they get old, but as far as I remember, never bluish. Also this fly was considerably smaller than even a small Lucilia.
