Hello,
This hippoboscid was found on common swift (Apus apus). Could it be Crataerina pallida?
17.VIII.2018, Madrid, Spain
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the compliment Tony.
By the way, this is another specimen found in the same place. Could the black bead next to it be the prepuparium?
Thank you very much.
