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

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

Indeed Pales pavida. Beware of other (rare) species in Spain and Italy (recent review by Cerretti in Zootaxa) Theo |
