Taken by a lagoon in the outskirts of Madrid on the 10th March 2012. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help! :)

Tethina sp. ? Seems similar to some in the Canacidae (incl. former Tethinidae) Album.

Always wary of contradicting Roger ;), but the inclinate lower frontal orbitals and reclinate upper frontal orbital suggest Agromyzidae, possibly Napomyza or thereabouts

Thanks Piluca, but mine was a guess.:|.Tony's was an opinion, his "opinion" beats my guess, because he is right. |t
If you change the headline of your first post to Agromyzidae / Napomyza sp.? then Milos may be able to go further with it.

Something similar from the Gallery.

Roger, your guess is much better than my 'I haven't the foggiest idea' ;) and I appreciate it the same |t

Changed the title and hope Milos sees it :)
