Size 4.5mm. I think it's an easy one.

Tephritis.... easy..... think againWink

But in this case it's not to difficult.
You can clearly see that the hairs on the tergites are darker in the front than in the apical half, combined with the apical fork in the wing and the few clear spots in cell R2+3. These characters point to T. neesii.

Many thanks John - well I haven't even tried to use Tephritidae key, and rely mostly on visual hints in our Gallery or elsewhere, so they all are not very easy for me Wink . By the way, is this a late autumn species and imagine will overwinter? How late do you find Tephritidae in Europe?

Hi Black,

A lot of Tephritis species overwinter as adults and in mid winter several species can be found on heath on a sunny and warm day.
