Hallo Ingrid, O. germinationis is correct (the V-shape stripes, wing pattern, yellow antenna with dark tips)

Eric, why not O. petrei? I cannot separate these two species without a view on abdomen laterally...

Indeed could be either Opomyza germinationis or O. petrei.

Thanks a lot Libor and Jan Willem for being vigilant about the Opomyza.
My findings of these are quite old and I noticed as the difference the more intense wing and thorax pattern. Unfortunately the sources are missing in my database and of course I totally agree with O. germinationis/petrei!

Many thanks to Libor and Jan Willem!
I will file the fly now under the name O. germinationis/petrei.

Greetings
