Could be the species of this Dilophus recognizable?

Location: Zaragoza, NE Spain, 200 meters
Habitat: Urban garden, especially in the flowers of Tamarix parviflora
Size: About 4-5 mm.
Date: Some weeks ago was very common. Today have disappeared. Probably a lot of them was attracted to the Tamarix flowers and when the tree stopped flowering, the flies don't come more.

Impossible to say

IF you really want to know, collect both sexes and send them to me.
