I am really embarrassed having to post these very dificient photos of this poor deficient fly. But those antennae are worth a try. September 2012. Andre Burgers attached the following image: [182.43Kb] Edited by Andre Burgers on 03-11-2014 20:58 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

It's possible to see much on the photo. The thick middle leg is typical for Platypalpus The white arista is a quite rare character maybe something close to P. albiseta but i have no clue about what species that can occur that far south. |

Mossnisse, Thanks for pinpointing its genus. P. albiseta occurs in Spain, but there are like 75 species here. http://iberfauna.mncn.csic.es/showficha.aspx?rank=T&idtax=63337 Platypalpus cf. albiseta would be fine and much more than expected. ¡Saludos!

There are a number of species with a white arista.

albiseta group narrows it down quite nicely.
