Thank you for their identification.
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.

Kind regards

I agree that the mouthparts look so long, but I wonder whether long enough. Hopefully Jens-Hermann Stuke will see this photo.

Very grateful for your help and support.

Edited the title to alternatives until we have an expert's verdict.

Kind regards from Southern Spain

I am not sure about this fly because several characters can not be seen well at the photo - especially the important wing coloration. I would suppose that the length of the proboscis is too small for picta and that the white hairs on the genae should be more obvious. The black spots on the postgenae and the jiz fit well to buccata but without a better look at the wing I am not convinced.

Thanks for giving us your opinion.
Unfortunately on this occasion I do not have other pictures that could provide more detail for better identification. Frown

Kind regards.
