 Hello,
Found this fly in Northern Portugal (near Ponte de Lima). I think it might be a Tachinidae but is it possible to go further in the ID? I have only this angle because it flew off.
Thanks in advance

 Rhinophoridae looks indeed more likely. Phyto is promising but the dm-m vein on the wing is not S-shaped like in the genus Phyto. I don't know if it is really a criterion or not. How about Tricogena ?

 Scutellum lacks rd.
There are many species of Phyto, so your objection does not bother me.
