A subset of $mathbb{R}^n$ is
This process gives rise to the Borel hierarchy.
Since all closed sets are $G_delta$, all $F_sigma$ are $G_{deltasigma}$. What is an explicit example of a $G_{deltasigma}$ that is not $F_sigma$?
Any dense $G_{delta}$ with empty interior is of II Baire category, and cannot be $F_sigma$ by the Baire theorem (and of course it is in particular a $G_{deltasigma}$).
Correct answer by Pietro Majer on August 20, 2020
I just stumbled upon this old question, and thought I would add a simple and natural example, which is $G_{delta sigma}$ but neither $G_{delta}$ nor $F_{sigma}$.
Consider $fcolon mathbb{C}tomathbb{C}; zmapsto e^z$, and its iterates $$f^n(z) = underbrace{f(f(dots f(z)dots))}_{text{$n$ times}}=e^{e^{cdot^{cdot^{cdot^{e^z}}}}}.$$ Consider the set $$ X := {zinmathbb{C}colon f^n(z)nottoinfty} $$ and its subset $$ X_0 := {zinmathbb{C}colon {f^n(z)colon ngeq 0} text{ is dense in $mathbb{C}$}}.$$
It follows from the definitions that $X_0$ is a $G_{delta}$ and $X$ is a $G_{delta sigma}$. It is well-known that $X_0$ is dense in $mathbb{C}$, as is the complement $I(f) = mathbb{C}setminus X$. (For an elementary proof, see The exponential map is chaotic, Amer. Math. Monthly 2017, arxiv:1408.1129.)
So $X_0$ contains a dense $G_{delta}$, and can therefore not be $F_{sigma}$, as noted by Pietro Majer.
That $X$ is not $G_{delta}$ follows from the fact that $I(f)$ is not $F_{sigma}$. (Escaping sets are not sigma-compact, arxiv:2006.16946.)
(More generally, for any transcendental entire function, the set of non-escaping points is a $G_{delta sigma}$ but neither $G_{delta}$ nor $F_{sigma}$.)

There is a class of (natural?) examples here.

Here are some examples from recursion theory which are boldface $mathbf{Pi^0_3}$ (the first is $Pi^0_3(emptyset')$ and the others are lightface $Pi^0_3$) but not boldface $mathbf{Sigma^0_3}$:
The collection of weakly-2-random reals;
The collection of Schnorr random reals;
The collection of computably random reals.

You want a $Sigma^0_3$ set which is not $Pi^0_3$. The canonical answer is a "universal $Sigma^0_3$ set". You can find these concepts in books on Descriptive Set Theory (such as the one by Moschovakis or the one by Kechris).
A specific example: Let $N_{10}$ be the set of normal numbers (each digit appears with the right asymptotic frequency in the decimal expansion). Then $N_{10}$ is a $Pi^0_3$ set which as complicated as $Pi^0_3$ sets get (in particular: every $Pi^0_3$ set is a continuous preimage of it). In particular, it is not $Sigma^0_3$. So the complement of $N_{10}$ is what you want.
