I've noticed that the image has dissapeared! Never mind, I have photograhied another maybe more interesting also from Monegros, it resembles Laphystia... Not big.

Not Laphriinae s.f. With those head and eyes shape I think is from Stenopogoninae. Maybe Cyrtopogon (I've excluded Stichopogoninae because the distance between eyes, along the face, doesn't show a substantial change.

Sorry but I remembered (wrong) Laphria. I think you're right about Laphystia sp.!

Definitely Laphystia sp. female, possibly L. erberi (see comments on 55479 thread). An additional Lapjystia (L. hispanica) is listed for Spain -- but I have no more info on the fly.
Specimens need to be examined for further identification...

Cheers,

Eric
