This therevid was seen moving a little bit like a wasp in Porto, Portugal in a mountainous area. What is it?

Any idea to what genus it belongs to?

Wondering whether it might be a female Salentia. Compare HERE for what probably is a male.

Thanks Paul. All the Salentia I’ve been finding were on dunes so I was wondering if this is another genus. Below I attached a photo of the habitat, much more inland.

Unfortunately, the palaearctic key to genera relies on male genitalia quite often so it is a kind of cumbersome to try and identify this female from picture.

Thanks anyway Paul. I must try to find a male.
