It appeared in my work place in a factory, so probably is a very common species, parasite of pigeons for sure. Somebody can help me with ID?   Thanks |

Thanks Jorge! I also suspected on Pseudolychnia canariensis, for be a common and urban species. I'll wait for Theo, but I have the exemplar collected for you :-) Today I saw two Cyrtus gibbus and a Lampromyia iberica - aaaargh again without photo. |

I agree. First impression is a dark Hippobosca equina, but the wing venation does not agree. Please collect some, if you have the opportunity (species still lacking in my collection !) Theo |
