Bombylius and what?
paqui
Hello, here it is a "small floating sheep". 1cm long, I supose it won?t be B major


And one more difficult; I?m not sure now if it?s Muscidae,
Dolichopodidae... For Dolichopodidae it?s a little "fat", but the veins seem so; the more I try to identificate it, the less I?m sure

The venation seems to me Dolichopodidae's no matter how fat it is.

I?m begining with entomology, it?s fantastic, but with no references /bibliography enough still these small animals drive me crazy. Thank you very much

The Bombylius looks like venosus.
Can't say more unfortunately...

The other fly is a Dolichopodidae sp. You'll need a specialist for that family, like the Dutch Henk Meuffels.

The dolichopodid is a species of Sciapus. The forked medial vein is characteristic for the subfamily Sciapodinae and most European species then belong to Sciapus.
The bombyliid may be B. venosus but if it is from Spain, I am not sure how many other possible species are likely candidates.
