Assume somehow the Spanish La Gloriosa in the 1870s resulted in an offer of the crown to the Habsburgs, and no interference from other nations. Which Habsburg has the strongest claim to the long-gone Spanish Habsburg throne beside Franz Joseph himself?

Need it for my book, I'm currently thinking of Archduke Karl Ludwig, father of Franz Ferdinand, but I don't think he has the strongest claim.
