Cistus ladanifer full of these lovely flies.

Paqui IDed this one as Rhyncomya cf columbina, but she needed a view of the hind quarters to be sure.

Now I have a new, not very good photo.:|

Hello, following the Peris & González-Mora 1988´s keys it must be R. columbina, but I ignore if there have been changes since then and I´m not a specialist, so I´m not the one to ensure it, thanks :)

Thank you Paqui for your positive ID. I wasn't sure the very blurry image taken from the obdomen was enough to ensure the ID.

Maybe you are not a specialist but you are very good.:)
