Very grateful, ChrisR. Under the guidance that tells me, I'll change the title to help them more easily identifiable.

Stevenia is a difficult genus in the Mediterrean, I'm not going to speculate on the species identity.

Zeegers, grateful for your information.
Although I think I do good photographs, I must admit that my knowledge of Diptera, are practically nil. So try to obtain the opinion of experts, whose opinions I always respect, to try to name the bugs which I have photographed
After placing it fly in the forum, I found these two other flies were similar in Motril, but not in the wetlands, previously identified by the expert Miguel Carles-Tolra:

http://www.biodiversidadvirtual.org/insectarium/Stevenia-sp-Robineau-Desvoidy-1830-img118987.html

For the reason of being photographed near the Mediterranean, south of Spain, be ruled out that it was Stevenia?

Do you think they have enough common data, the copy submitted to the Forum Diptera in relation to the flies that I have previously identified by Miguel Carles-Tolra, in support that may be of the same species.?

Greetings
