It appeared in my work place in a factory, so probably is a very common species, parasite of pigeons for sure.
Somebody can help me with ID?
Thanks

well, Isidro.. Pseudolynchia canariensis, the pigeon louse fly or pigeon fly.. maybe. Wait for Theo. He knows better this family.

Thanks Jorge! I also suspected on Pseudolychnia canariensis, for be a common and urban species. I'll wait for Theo, but I have the exemplar collected for you :-)
Today I saw two Cyrtus gibbus and a Lampromyia iberica - aaaargh again without photo.

I agree.
First impression is a dark Hippobosca equina, but the wing venation does not agree.
Please collect some, if you have the opportunity (species still lacking in my collection !)
