Around 6-6,5 mm.
Santo river banks. Lecrín valley (Granada, S Spain). February 21, 2012.
First photo: This is the male. I know that because I saw them mate just after these photos was taken.
Thanks

Not Anthomyiidae, I think it is a muscid, Limnophora perhaps.
Abdominal black marks suggest this? No doubt the muscid experts will tell us
