I moved the thread to the Syrphidae forum, you can draw your conclusion from that...

Hello Valter,

Interesting looking fly! It's a female Cheilosia sp.
But without further photo's or the specimen I'd dare not suggest a species.

Greetings,

Ectemnius

I collected the specimen... What photos do you need for identification?

Olá Valter,
Very good that you collected it; hope to see your shipment later this year. Looking forward to more flies from the Algarve, because most of the material I receive and collect is from the northern parts of Portugal! Smile
This is a female Cheilosia cf griseiventris/latifrons/xxx.
Perhaps you collected it feeding on Bellis perennis?
Cheers, André
