Cannot be certain at this point (no keys here atm). Did you keep the specimen? Iberian Peninsula might still yield quite a few new species so it can be useful to hold on to specimens (especially males, like this one).

Paul, bedankt.

You confirm my fears about the impossibility of ID Empis by photos.:|

I must admit that I am rather reluctant to hurt even a fly. Next time I will try to catch it, 'him' in this case.

Thanks again en de groeten,
André
