This is not Gymnosoma. Gymnosoma does not have bristles on the abdomen (soma = body, gymno = naked).

This is a member of tribus Tachinini (Tachina or Peleteria or Nowickia etc.).

Looks like Tachina sp. to me - but in Spain the range of species is much wider than I have in the UK, so I won't go further without a specimen.

Well, I'm cautious as Liekele, since it might very well turn out to be a Peleteria...
