This time Roger is wrong, sorry.
It is really Anthomyiid, I can't say more, sorry.

Nikita, that was quick!! Well, it is almost good news that it is Anthomyiidae because I was starting to think that I was useless trying to separate Anthomyiidae and some Muscidae. I have serious problems with some of them.

Anyway, thanks a lot to you both for your input. All the best

Nikita you are right as always! It is a male Delia species I think, but some unusual species are found on the mountains north of Madrid. Pity you did not catch a specimen. I can't say more without seeing all the bristles,especially on the legs and under the abdomen.
