Small (~5mm) and withish fly with green eyes. No idea of the family. Found today in Lisbon. Very sorry for the terrible quality of the pciture.

Are you sure? I thought that wings were all mottled orpictured in that family

Yes. Pretty sure it is 100% tephritid. Wait for Valery. ;)
Check here for an example of a tephritid with hyaline wings:

Ensina sonchi is grey and has hardly spotted wings (cp.
http://insektenfo...c2dfb24fbb) but is said to fly much later in summer or autumn, respectively.

Thanks, Jorge and Sundew. From the link given by Jorge it looks very much like a
Terellia serrulata: wing venation, spots on the thorax and pattern in the abdomen.
