Yesterday, La Pe?a, Huesca, Aragon, Spain. Pre-Pyrenees. Habitat: prairies with few trees and shrubs, near a very very low and closed river. Size: 11-13 mm more or less.
Can belongs to this genus?
Thanks ;)

No, the eyes are hairy: Linnnaemyia vulpina.
But you are right, Linnaemyia vulpina can resemble Peleteria extraordinarily !

MANY THANKS Theo!!! A new species for my gallery, fantastic!
I looked my "Peleteria sp." and it's almost identical to this one, but femora are slender and black....

Good call Theo - I didn't want to comment on this without seeing the face more clearly :)
