This magnific fly was yesterday at la Peņa, Huesca, NE Spain, Pre-Pyrenees at 500 meters. Size 6-7 mm. In flowers of Euphorbia serrata. What can it be?

Should be Zophomyia temula - very distinctive :)

Thanks Chris, after writing here I found the mentioned species in a general insect guide and I thinked that is the same, but maybe could be some mistakable species. If Theo confirm that ID, I will put this name :)
