Not
Linnaemya ... I have a feeling that it is a
Peleteria sp. but I cannot see the face well enough to be sure ... the proportions of head against the rest of the body look right for
Peleteria. :)

Yeah, going to genus isn't really a problem but further is hard in Spain. This is clearly not
Nowickia (not black enough) and it isn't
Linnaemya (eyes do not look hairy and the basicosta is dark) so it leaves
Tachina or
Peleteria and they can be hard from a single dorsal shot. If we had a face shot and could see
Peleteria bristles then it would be clear. But from what we can see
Peleteria abdomens are often redder than
Tachina ... and the head on
Peleteria often looks bigger in proportion to the body than it does on a
Tachina :) But this is all just educated guesswork ;)
