This is a Lispe sp. (Muscidae).

Finally I've got chance to correct Stephane (who several times (and fairly) corrected my errors)  It isn't Lispe - Ochthera (manicata), Ephydridae. Ochthera also has dilated palpi - I wonder what is the advantage of dilated palpi for predator flies who hunted on the silt? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

both Ochthera manicata (Fabricius 1794) and Ochthera schembrii Rondani 1847 recorded at S’Albufera. |

Don't worry, Stephane, it only changes count from whitewash of about 5:0 to more honorable for me 5:1. Still you are the best in identifications Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
