On Foeniculum vulgare, La Zubia (Granada), Sierra Nevada northface foothills, 30 Sep. 2013.
I'm afraid will not be possible to say anything else.
Thanks

Probably
Forcipomyia.

They look very hairy - I'm inclined to say
Dasyhelea.
Or
Forcipomyia!! ;)

I thought of
Dasyhelea when I saw the antennae, but the rest looks like
Forcipomyia. As far as I know
Dasyhelea are uniform in appearance and not so hairy. The pale of spots on the wing are like
F. bipunctata.

Agree with John. More likely
Forcipomyia

I'll name it Forcipomyia cf. bipunctata, then. Thanks again.
