Female Opomyza florum. Do you have more details? I think this species has not been recorded from Portugal before.

I will make more photos. Next week. I know Opomyzidae family is very poorly known in Portugal. I will try to collect more opomyzids so we can do an article on this family. |

great! See? And you saw your first Chaoboridae. So the trip was worthy of Diptera. Don't forget that oestrids are hard to find. |

Of course it was worthy, but a shame that flies didn't enter in some open mouths |

There were many taurus there with open mouths in Lama Grande... you should go with them. Or you should take off the T-shirt in Lama Grande and wait for an oestrid to parasite yourself.
