Hi Jordi,

Definitely a female, subfamily Asilinae. I am by no means familiar with all the Spanish Asilidae so it is a long shot but maybe Kurzenkoiellus dasypygus? You can find the checklist for the Iberian peninsula https://www.resea...icion_2019.

Maybe someone else can give a more educated guess.

Best, Jonne
