I know that are many, many species of small, dark-brown Bombylius with smoked wings. This one was at Valmadrid, Aragon, Spain, in a wheat field near steppe-lands. I think that, if the exactly identification maybe is impossible, an approximation can be found.

The fly size was about 1 cm withouth stylet. The picture was taked a week ago less or more.

Thanks.
Best regards Wink
