This litte fly landed on my knee last week in june this year. The place is a garden with surrounding pasture and fields, about 50 miles east of Stockholm in Sweden. I have no idea where to start with this species. Any help is welcome!

Interesting! There are very few reports of this species in Sweden. Is Peplomyza litura hard to confuse with another kind of Peplomyza?

Peplomyza intermedia has black spotys along the oral margin (absent here) and
P. discoidea does not have a black spot between the antennae (present here), so, yes, this is
P. litura.
