Hello

My English is not good, sorry ;).
What's that? My favorite is Tephritis leontodontis or Tephritis fallax.
Here you see an image of the fly and of a wing from this.

thx Volker

The difference between them is the presence of mostly black setulae over tergites 3-5 in T. fallax Lw., whereas in T. leontodontis De Geer they are all white. The fly on your foto looks to be a T. fallax.
