My guess is Sicus.

Yesterday, Villanua, Huesca, Aragon, Spain. Pyrenees. About 900 meters high. Fir forest and also pine (Pinus sylvestris) forest. Common in the zone.

Hello, Isidro!

If it was photographed here in Germany, I would say Sicus ferrugineus (very frequent here in the last weeks), but I don't know if there are additonal species in your region.

About 9000 meters high.


Wow! Above Mount Everest level??? WinkWink
Best regards,
Jürgen

Thanks Juergen!!!

It's very probably S. ferrugineus then, is the most common species.

I had a mistake with the highness. I want said 900 meters.

Well, there are more species present in central and southern Europe:

S. abdominalis
S. alpinus
S. fusenensis
S. nigritarsis

I guess the distinguishing characters can't be seen in the picture.
(S. ferrugineus: Theca very short)

Germany: all of these species occur in Germany, S. ferrugineus being the most frequent. (Stuke 1996, Stuke 2002)
