I have no idea of the species of this one. It was on a umbellifer in the urban area of Lisbon. The most distinctive feature is the swallen femora. Lenght is about 1cm.
Thanks for the help,

Hello, Joaquim!
Here in Germany this would be
Syritta pipiens. But I don't know, if there are similar species in your region.

Syritta pipiens is fairly common in most European countries, including Portugal. So there's a good chance that this is in fact S. pipiens. I think it is!
