I captured this tachinid in Barcelos, Portugal on the last 20th of September. To me it looks like a female Nemoraea pellucida but I think it is a bit small for this species. What do you think?

size: around 11 mm

It looks familiar - best confirm from Theo though because I have only seen the male :)

Most definitely female Nemoraea.

It can be quite small, like 11 mm. Not common but not really unusual either. Third antennal segment is different from all other Eurithia / Tachina / ...
