It looks like a Chrysogaster and if there's not a resembling one in Spain: C. solstitialis?

In this page there are others that look very much alike.

Yes, I've just looked at these and basalis and coemiteriorum are close but the wings are not that dark. So solstitialis seems to be a good candidate.

You've convinced me. I'll tag it like Chrysogaster cf. solstitialis.

Thank you again.
