Despite my last post that was completely ignored :| I don't lost faith on DI. Maybe this (anthomyiid???) can be named... Seems to have a series of black spots in the abdomen (bad seen).

Found few days ago resting in a Ephedra in Peņaflor, Aragon, NE Spain, 300 meters over sea, continental mediterranean climate.

Male Helina is all I would say.

Thanks a lot Stephane! And a species could be precised?

Nobody can go to species?

Finally this is a Phaonia and not an Hellina. It's possible to recognize the species?

From these photos I don't think anyone will be able to improve on Stephane's answer.

Isidro, if Stephane says it is Helina, I would stick at that opinion ;)

And with 46 species of nearly 'impossible' ones in Spain, I think there are little chances of getting the right one :| These little devils are a nightmare :o

Piluca, you're not the only thinking in Phaonia instead Hellina :)
What a shame. Just my first Phaonia that I asked here, was identified to species level, giving me the impression of an easy genus. But the second and this one, will remain as "impossible flies". Probably I will delete the photo from my PC :)

Thanks everybody for replying!
