At first I thought it might be Bombylella atra with no white hairs, but I seriously doubt that is the case. The wings don't seem to match either. Help, please!!

I once saw one of these at the top of Foia, Monchique, Portugal. Although i failed to catch it so cannot be certain, i concluded it was probably Bombylius fuscus. |

Thanks a lot David!!  I am astonished that I cannot find pictures of Bombylius fuscus in the Internet. I guess it might be an interesting picture to submit to the gallery. The species exits in Spain, which adds to the identification. |
