(found in Brittany, Jul 2006, size: 6 mm?)
Thanks for any help!

beautiful fly.. but a pest. :(

I think it is a good signal to see very few tephritids among many fruit trees. :)
but neither all are pests ;) "Some species are pests, together causing billions of dollars in losses annually, whereas other species are beneficial biological control agents of weeds."
