Found in my garden on a cabbage, I think we are in the family Calliphoridae (wing veins), then with the metallic blue abdomen maybe the genus Bellardia (not sure).
Thank you for your help
Louis

Hi Louis,
You need to establish the nimbermof post Intraalar bristles.
From center of thorax outwards it is the thrid row (acrostichals ->. Dorsocentals ->. intraalars).
They are partly broken off.
Bellardia is normally bronze, not blue .
