This was photographed in a floriferous glade in a forest near Iasi Romania yesterday 11 -July- 2009. Is it a Tephritid, or even better a
Platystomatid???:D

Tephritidae! No doubts! ;)
I'd say Tephritis sp.

Thanks Jorge,
I will await more information. Hopefully:P. And that's about my 30 minutes for 5 lei up, still it is a lot faster than at home

Tephritis male, very probably
T. valida Lw., but unfortunately, a male (an ultimate proof must be the ovipositor tip shape). Wing pattern, however, is more characteristical for
valida than for
bardanae. Quite a rare species associated in the Balkans and some other countries with Inula hirta and other high species of that genus.
