I photographed this Bombyliidae in a field in the north-east of Portugal on the 15th of June 2011.
I believe it is an Amictus sp.

Could somebody confirm the genus and let me know if it is possible to identify the species from a photograph or if collection and closer examination of the specimen is necessary?

Thanks in advance.
