And now, the last tachinid of the day. As the others I found it in Barcelos, Portugal (03/04/2008). Does anyone have an idea?

Looks like an Ernestia sp. to me. Up here in England it might be puparum but I can't see golden hairs on the parafacial so I don't think it is that - and i suspect that you have many other similar species down there - but maybe Theo can help?

The inner vertical setae on the vertex seem to be strong and crossed. Therefore, it would be an Eurithia with narrow vertex. Too difficult to get to species level on picture.
