Found today in a garden in Lisbon. About the size of a housefly. No idea of the species or family.
Thanks,

Cylindromyia sp (Tachinidae), see my post just before yours !
But which one?....
Cheers

Hmm, yes ... but which one, indeed ;) Cylindromyia are nice flies but they are keyed out using some quite unusual and tricky bristle features that seldom show up on photos. But Theo is usually good at spotting them using his experience of the group :)
