Based on the length of the facial projection, and the (apparent) presence of white spots next to the eye margin, I think yours is more likely to be andalusiacus.
Nemotelus is not an easy genus - there are 30 species in Europe; the colouration is different between males and females; and even within the same sex, the pattern can vary enormously.:(
Keep posting the pictures, though - and collect specimens! :p
