It is can be Chrysops relictus?, I don´t know if there are other similar. North Huelva Province in Southern Spain.

Yes
Chrysops , and it is a male. It's in
italicus group and I'm thinking about
flavipes

Any more pictures available, Paco ?
Sure, there is a fenester in the wing band, but otherwise this male does not look like flavipes at all. I am thinking it might be an aberrant relictus.

Really
relictus? About
flavipes the fitting traits, for me, are:
-d-cell light central plate
-eyes not completely meeting on frons-
-mostly black antennae.

Sorry, was forgetting to mention about
flavipes that:
-dark stain doesn't cover R4 entirely
-abdomen is mostly yellow with black areas

Abdomen pattern, if you verify and try (mentally) to compose the missing half, doesn't really looks like that of
relictus male

I'd love to get a better look on the abdomen. I agree with your observation, however, it is even more differing from flavipes !

The only way to fix the trouble is to get more photos :)
