 I've recently photographed this fly in NW Spain which I believe belongs to the genus Hexatoma.

I would like to know if it does belong to that genus, and if it's possible get to species. Thank you all in advance.

 Hexatoma (Hexatoma) bicolor (Meigen, 1818), male.
While others can't climb, using infinite pains,
I, gravity turning to jest,
Ascend, with all ease, perpendicular planes,
Rough or smooth, just as pleases me best.
