I know only two species in Spain: A. meigeni & A. filaginis...
I think it's Actinoptera meigeni.

Yes, it certainly is A. meigeni Hendel:
Cell r1 with 3 hyaline spots

Thanks, Nosferatumyia. |t

I didn't know about those spots (my knowledge is very limited). It just looked like one, but the three spots are clear to me.

Ciao,

That's the original distinction in Hendel's (1927) diagnosis.
