Bibionidae :
Bibio or
Dilophus, difficult to say without seeing the fore tibiae (at least for me).

I think a male of
Bibio:
1. Fore tarsi appear to have apical spurs rather than rows of spines.
2. There is no row of spines near the front of the mesonotum.
3. R-M and Rs are similar length.
These characters are used for American genera but I presume they work in Europe as well.

Eh eh ,it's cheating, top picture was not here when I sent my reply. Of course, with this new top picture, this is a Bibio. I let Theo say which species...

Species does not look familiar to me and since I have very little experience with Bibionidae from the Iberian Peninsula, I'd really need the specimen to say more
