Please, forgive my ignorance, for I don't even know wheter this belongs to Diptera or not...
It was photographed in Girona, in Catalonia yesterday by Albert Ruh?, a friend of mine.
If anyone can give me clue, I'll be grateful.

No Diptera. It is a caddisfly, order Trichoptera. Let's see if anyone can come up with a name for this one. :)

Thanks very much, I was completely lost with that one. I know it doesn't look good for a Diptera but I thought the eyes were a quite fly-like...
A bizarre looking insect, quite different from the Trichoptera I know!

I don't know if there's anyone interested, but I think I finally came up with the id of this strange creature.
It is indeed a Trichoptera (thanks for the clue, Paul), family Leptoceridae and species Mystacides azurea
Cheers,
