Looks like
Sciapus, Dolichopodidae.

In Portugal there is only Sciapus glaucescens :)

Dear Valter,
One advice: collect the specimen and get it identified by a specialist. There are both in Neurigona and Sciapus species with yellow abdominal tergites and there are a lot of dolichopodid species to be found in Portugal that are not yet recorded (actually, Portugal proved to be one of the most undersampled of all Western European countries, cfr. Pollet, 2007).
Cheers,
Marc

I think it is a female of
Neurigona based on the following visible characters: mesonotum with a flattened area in front of scutellum (not present in
Sciapus); fore femur without strong spine-like ventral setae in females (present in
Sciapus).
