Do you have any more pics? Or did you collected it? It looks like Hybomitra pilosa to me, but this species is not known from Iberian peninsula, as I know. Hope Theo will say more.

Sharp picture of frons, palpi, antennae, please... Are sides of tegrum II largely greyish? And what about biotope? Any salt marsh or something similar?

I thought there were brackish waters near the coast of Faro?

It looks like pilosa, but that is a pontic species not known from the Iberian peninsula.
It is replaced there by H. tamujosoi, described only 1982 by Schacht and Portillo. I have a male, quite different, but these pictures agree very good with the drawing in Portillos's book. So, I'm pretty confident it might very well be the female of Hybomitra tamujosoi.
Excellent !
