Hello,

To my opinion this comes closest to some Terellia species. Is it?

Well Andreas, I'm very curious what John Smit has to say about this specimen. It certainly looks like a Terellia, but the wing marking is very strong. So let's wait for the opinion of John.
A very beautiful species!

It's a Terellia alright!
But I sure hope you collected it!!
I have seen specimens before with too much colouration in the wings, but I will need to check my collection before I can propose a name for this one!

Next time you should bring some conatiners to collect some of the flies.
In this case it was not necessary for the id, it's Terellia ruficauda.
I have more specimens with very dark wings, though this one seems rather extreme.
