Caught on in long grass near Reading, UK on 2014-04-13.

I think it might be Tephritis ruralis or Tephritis leontodontis. Any suggestions?

certainly T. leontodontis: no black abdominal setulae; poorly darkened anal lobe, only two white spots around first transverse vein.

Thank you Valery. My first Tephritid of the year and my first leontodontis ever!
