From a bog at 1,485 ms in the Kerkini mountains of northern Greece,
2-8/06/2008. It looks pretty distinctive so I thought I would put it up.

It is a Tephritidae. Ask John - he will know it.

Might be a Pallopterid...

OK,
Looking more closely at the costa I have convinced myself it isn't a Sciomyzid, but the body and head don't look much like a Tephritid to me, albeit I know very little.

To me it looks most like a strongly maculated variation of
Trypeta zoe!?

Thanks Jan,
And thanks for telling me about the Clusiid paper as well.

This is
probably a Trypeta zoe, or another related species, I need to check my papers, but I am not home now.
