I know only two species in Spain: A. meigeni & A. filaginis...
I think it's Actinoptera meigeni.

Thanks, Nosferatumyia. TumbsUp

I didn't know about those spots (my knowledge is very limited). It just looked like one, but the three spots are clear to me.

Ciao,

André

That's the original distinction in Hendel's (1927) diagnosis.
