I'm not sure but it seems similar (to my eyes :S).

Thanks !

Hi Manuel
N0 - not Lonchaea chorea - the antennae are far too long, indeed it might even be a Silba species although I cannot make out any plumes on the arista. The message for Lonchaeidae in Spain is - please take the specimen! - there are probably many interesting if not new species.
best wishes ........ Iain

Well, thanks Iain :)
There are very few Lonchaeidae here (only two flies I've seen although must be said that I've been only since late last year with this hobby).

I could take one shot only. This is an detail to see the arista better.
