This is Chorisops tibialis. The flight period for Sargus and Chorisops tends to be through the whole summer in Britain - in Portugal, they may avoid the the very driest time, so may be a bit later there. The only real autumn species is Sargus bipunctatus which regularly flies from August through to October.

In Hungary, I tend to see Chorisops in May and than in very late summer to September.
