These flies was very common in the highly salty lake (now dried, only covered with water in winter) of La Playa, Bujaraloz, Monegros region, NE Spain, about 200-300 meters, few days ago. They're very quickly, so, I only could take this photo:
The size is similar to Musca domestica.
There is a better photo of a mating:

Jorge Mota Almeida collected someone.
In company of high numbers of a spectacular tiger-beetle, Cephalota (Taenidia) circumdata imperialis, also exclusive of salty habitats.
Can be identified?
Thanks,
Regards

Isidro, that second photo is from Castejon so may be they are different specs... or maybe not...

Thanks a lot. I saw it very similar and I supposed that your photo was taken at La Playa. You found it, at least, in a similar habitat (salty water?)

Yes at the "balsas" of Castejon (the same place at the testing)...

Perhaps a
Lispe (Muscidae). We'll have to wait for Jorge to raport on the collected material.
