Thanks!
enlargement of the fore tibia:
Dasypogoninae? Stenopogoninae?

it is hidden... I think. I mean the ventral tibia is not visible here. This is a good example how sometimes it is best to catch the fly. ;)
If really has a strong spur in apical tibia (ventral), yep.
But general appearance for me is a Dasypogoninae. But dunno.
Really, when I have some more time I will study a little more iberian asilids.

Javig, Jorge:
This is a Stenopogon sp. (without a protibial spur). Gordon's photo is of the same genus. I'll wait for Danny of Dysmachus to possibly contribute species names for the European flies!
Regards,
Eric
