Hi, this is indeed a Tephritidae, it looks like Anomoia purmunda to me. I don't know if there are similar species, and I only got my key yesterday. (see topic above  ) I already figured out it isn't so safe to key out a species with photo's...Bye, Jonas |

So far as I know Anomoia purmunda doesn't have any lookalikes, so I think your ID is safe.

No question - an Anomoia, but the species identity needs further confirmation. Its yellow scutellum and silvery microtrichosity look so uncommon to me... WHERE IS IT FROM? Val |

My first guess was it could be an introduced Chonese or Japanese species. However, nothing in that area like that except purmunda. I think, it's just sort of light change.
