Hi all! This is my first post in the forum since I just joined, so forgive me if I make any mistakes. Going through my picture catalogue I noticed this image of a Tephritid. I didn't think much of it at the time, but in iNaturalist it was identified as Noeeta. You can see the iNat observation here, which also has the precise time and location: https://www.inatu.../190277634.
According to fauna Iberica, in Spain there are only two recorded Noeeta species, N. pupillata and N. hemiradiata, and judging by the publication describing N. hemiradiata I think the wing pattern better fits that species.
Do you think this identification is correct? It would be the second picture of the species available online, so I want to make sure. Thank you in advance.
