Hi Louis.
I don't think it is U. stylata.
If I was obliged to guess, I'd choise U. jaceana.

Hi Louis and Nikita,

Urophora it is, and indeed no U. stylata.
It is the cuspidata complex, only unambiguously identifyable by the tip of the aculeus....., so Urophora spec. it will be.

Best wishes,

John
