Spring is coming in Andalusia, today 17ºC, I show a species very common today near a stream at the Sierra de Huelva, I think it can be Anthomyia, perhaps A. pluvialis?

They could be Anthomyia pluvialis but I think there is another similar species in your area.

I have a espécimen but I don't know what are the differences between both species. Thanks John

One similar species is A. tempestatum which may not reach as far north as Europe. See thread: http://www.dipter...d_id=58203.
Another is A. imbrida. See http://www.dipter...d_id=55872 and http://www.dipter...d_id=54309.
