It's nice to see again your wonderful pictures Rafael. Smile
I think your fly is Pales pavida (bluish body, red-tipped scutellum...).

It's possible - the tibiae look brown and the facial ridges seem to have lots of strong down-pointing bristles Grin

Indeed Pales pavida.

Beware of other (rare) species in Spain and Italy
