That a horsefly, no?

Pretty sure it’s a Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata).

Horseflies are usually huge, as their name suggests.

I'm in Spain, it was tiny, I imagine that you are correct

I’m in California, they exist here too. They cover a pretty big part of the world, iirc.

Yes Mediterranean fruit fly very destructive outside of it's native habitat.
