A very interesting asilid Jorge! It has the habitus of a Laphystia relative -- but doesn't seem to match the Laphystia I'm familiar with (mainly Nearctic spp.!). The antennae and abdomen are different, and the face is narrower; can't see tergal bristles or wing tip venation in sufficient detail -- to tell about those features. Your Serra da Estrela definitely has some great flies!
