I captured this tachinid in Barcelos, Portugal on the last 20th of September. To me it looks like a female Nemoraea pellucida but I think it is a bit small for this species. What do you think?

size: around 11 mm

Most definitely female Nemoraea.

It can be quite small, like 11 mm. Not common but not really unusual either. Third antennal segment is different from all other Eurithia / Tachina / ...
