Very grateful, Paul.

I have not found anything with that name in the gallery.
Think I can upload it to the gallery by that name, or you think I should wait for confirmation of identification by another expert.?

Best regards from southern Spain.

Looks like Pseudolynchia canariensis, which makes much more sense in urban area....

Paul, Theo, Andrzej ... I thank you all for your interest and cooperation.
But, as I am very ignorant and mishandled English, someone could establish a specific identification.
I apologize for my ignorance.
Best Regards
