Hi Jorge,
Neither Tephritidae nor Lauxaniidae. This fly belongs to the family Opomyzidae. It is a specimen of the genus
Geomyza. It is difficult to be sure about which species it is. I know that
Geomyza tripunctata often has a rather reddish thorax in southern Europe, so that might be a candidate, but it could also be
Geomyza narthsukae. The genitalia should be studied for a positive identification.
