I would agree that this is
Culex, and looks like
C. pipiens group. If that's human blood, it's probably
molestus; bird blood - probably
pipiens. ;)

Thanks Tony! I found it in my room, so I assume that it was interested in my blood:@. If I find out that it is interested in me (it's still around), is it safe to call it Culex cf. molestus?

Probably safer to call it
Culex pipiens group - I'm not sure which other species might be in Portugal.
