I think this is a Phaonia sp., and seeing the weak prealar seta I think it might be Phaonia rufipalpis. Confirmation or correct ID will be most welcome :)

Taken in a meadow in the mountains of Madrid on August the 7th 2012.

Thanks in advance for any help ;)

It is a female Helina (hind tibia without pd in distal third).

It's interesting to note that there are no spots on the abdomen, this may narrow it down
