 Photograph taken on May 19, 2013, in the wetlands of the Suárez Pond, Motril, Granada, Spain.
Immediate area of the Mediterranean coast.
Apparent size with wings, about 7 mm

I think, without foundation, that could be Dolichopodidae.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Very grateful for their identification.
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.

Best regards.
