Hi Urs,
It's a
Trupanea, though I can't tell you which species right now, I always forget the differences between
T. amoena and
T. stellata, the two most likietly candidates. I'll get back on this one.

Hi Urs,
According to Merz (1994: Insecta Helvetica, Fauna 10, Diptera, Tephritidae),
T. amoena is clearly the better of the two
Trupanea species:
In der Schweiz nu von wenigen Funden bekannt: Glattfelden (ZH), Les Pleiades (VD), Burgdorf (BE), Leuk (VS), Gordola (TI) und M?stair (GR)
If you are interested in Tephritidae, this book is worth bying (to my opinion).
