Hi Jorge.
I'd suppose Hydrotaea of Muscidae. But intersting to know what Kahis thinks...

if Hydrotaea why doesn?t appear in diptera.info gallery at least one photo?

I?m curious about the frons in M shape. Smile

Hydrotaea ignava (formerly called Ophyra leucostoma). The lustrous black colour and the large, brilliant frontal triangle are typical for the species formerly placed in Ophyra.

Edit: make that Hydrotaea sp. near ignava. There are some mediterranean species in the group that look rather like ignava.
