Very grateful, Paul.
Although I am ignorant to identify, it is true its resemblance to those that already exist in the gallery of Diptera.
Edit the name and I put question to try to give us confirmation.
A warm greeting.

Paul's ID "perhaps podagrica" is wise! There are at least three species looking like podagrica in S Spain (unpublished). Without a voucher no definite ID will be possible

I think I understand, that in fact as Paul says, it can be confirmed Neoascia podagrica as the most probable. If you do not interpret his words, correct me, please.

Thank you for your confirmation, and a warm greeting

Are they two the same fly? The first one looks quite distinctive with a protuberance on it's head. The second one looks like a Syrphid I uploaded recently.

If, in fact. These are two jacks on the same syrfido.
I guess it refers to the output of your oral appliance. Indeed it is. Also shown in the picture below.
