what about Phasia barbifrons?

Excellent picture !
To me, I can see only 1 row of strong bristles on the parafrontalia, so it must be some species in the subgenus Hyalomyia.
Many species present in Spain....

Yes, in my experience
P.barbifrons always looks very black on the parafrontal area, even when you can't actually see the tiny hairs :) The wide silvery patch would suggest
P.pusilla here in the UK ... or any number of things down in Spain :D
