I am lost with this one. And unfortunately, couldn't get a well in focus picture of it. But it had hairy eyes and straight vein M. First thought was Polietes domitor, but the abdomen and thorathic markings don't fit. Help, please!!

taken in a garden in the outskirts of Madrid on the 17th March 2012.

Dreadful picture taken with flash, but the hairy eyes can be seen.

I know pictures are not very good, but is it not possible to know at least the genus?
