In Motril, Granada, Spain.
Appreciating your help, greetings

It does look like
Culex, but I wouldn't like to say which species.

Thanks Tony.
Seems to be difficult .... Let's see if someone could go further.

Looking, looking, at the Forum on Biodiversity Spain, I found this sheet identified.

What do you think?.

It certainly looks very similar, and might be
pipiens, but there are other species which are very alike and can only be reliably separated by examining specimens.

Understood, Tony. Should be left in Culem.
I still have the mosquito. But I do not know what kind of review would be done ...
Thanks and regards
