Photos are really bad but the insect didn't allowed me to get close, so I was unable to obtain decent pics
El Trebolar, Almeria, south Spain. 26th July 2021
Dry river course with dense vegetation
About 8-9 mm lenght
I'm thinking Petrorossia cf. letho?

Petrorossia is likely ok. I do not know to separate the species. They differ in the colour of furring of the head if I remember correctly.
