looks like Calliopum sp. - Lauxaniidae to me

I'd say some Psilopa-like, Ephydridae

Unfortunately my skills are zero and I can only know what your knowledge tells me

As Calliopum sp, I found this example in the gallery
http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=831, when I find similarities.

As Ephydridae> Psilopa, I found these other examples,
http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=3263 and
http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=3264
And I also find similarities with them.

What you think that the alternative would be more justified?
Thanks for your comments and greetings

I agree with Nikita on this - a Psilopa, possibly a freshly-emerged P.compta.

Very grateful. It seems that their opinions will coincide.

Check out the antennae, Calliopum is very much different!

True, the antennas are very different. But not knowing makes you blind. And I admit my ignorance :S

Thanks and greetings from Spain.
