More different than similar,I'd say.
It is a Tachinidae, most likely somewhere in the Goniini / Eryciini complex, since the pre-alar bristle seems to be strong. Otherwise,I can't help you.
Start collecting !

Bedankt, Theo.:)
Tachinidae, not Rhinophoridae.:S I'm just beginning to, virtually, collect flies. But my knowledge is even behind the limited number of flies collected.
It is still very misty, this Fly-World.

If it is a foggy day, don't despair, the sun will break through !
The calypter is large, so it could not be a Rhinophorid. Moreover, the topcel is open, so it couldn't be Stevenia.
Please remember that there are 500 plus species of Tachinidae in Spain, 350 plus looking like this one at first glance (bristly and grey) !

Again very interesting info, thanks, Theo.
350 plus look-a-likes. This reaaaaally is preventing me from sliding into desperation and depression. :o
