Hello,
Photo taken in Pontevedra (NW Iberian Peninsula) on 08/03/2015. I think is Madiza glabra. Is correct?
Thanks
Luis Álvarez

Luis,

For what it's worth: the alternative, eximia, has much longer head bristles. ;)

But better wait for the experts. :D

¡Saludos! :)

Thank you André.
If it is glabra I will be happy but if I have been wrong and it was eximia I would be still happier (I think that eximia it is rarer):D:D
Un abrazo,
Luis

M. glabra it is. I think the only species with the longest axis of the head running from the occiput to the vibrissal angle.
