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. TumbsUp

P. albiseta occurs in Spain, but there are like 75 species here. awkward

Platypalpus cf. albiseta would be fine and much more than expected.

¡Saludos!
André

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
