Maybe Clusiodes cf. verticalis (Clusiidae) based on the photo of a female in the Gallery

Sara, bahar, Roger, thank you so much for your replies!! |t

Yes, Clusiidae looks perfect for my fly. A new family for me B) B) B)

Roger, going though the information I have on the family, it truely looks like Clusiodes verticalis. The only other posibility in Spain would be C. gentilis, but it seems it has a much darker frons.

I would be much happier knowing the opinion of an expert on this field :)

Paul, you have Ided some Clusiidae in the past. Can you confirm it, please? ;)
