Muscidae or Fannidae? Found in a garden in the outskirts of Madrid in November 2011. Thanks in advance for any help! :)

It is pretty obvious that I will never learn to put these type of fly in the correct family :o :S
Thanks a lot, Nikita!! |t

Orbitals not in line with the frontals, prealar long, midtibia with av and parafrontal prominent......
Looks like some
Phorbia sp.
(but distal oviscapt; end of female terminalia looks strange to me)

Not Phorbia female, ovipositor not laterally compressed and blade-like for slitting grass stems for egg laying. More like 2 small pad-like and setulose cerci. May be a Delia species?

Sorry for the late reply, I am been way too busy all week :o
Thanks to you all for your input! :) I never thought it was going to be so difficult :(
I guess that leaving it as
Anthomyiidae is a wise decission ;)
Thanks again to all that replied for your time and interest. Best
