Hello,
I`ve been looking at lots of Tephritidae with different wing pattern, but couldn`t find an identical one. Who can help? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps a Campiglossa sp.

Well, I compared my fly with all the Campiglossa sp. in this Diptera gallery, but I couldn`t find one with the same arrangement of white and black dots. So it will probably just be Campiglossa sp. Thanks for your guess.

Your new request http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=52072&pid=223443#post_223443, it's very similar to this one... Perhaps your two flies are Oxyna sp. (perhaps O. flavipennis?)

Hello Jordi,
That`s interesting. I wouldn`t have seen this similarity, because I remember the other fly more brownish, even the wings. But why not? Thanks for this hint.

Here are two images of Oxyna flavipennis, one more brownish:

Oxyna flavipennis female (which is the darkest in the genus and easily can be ID)

Thank you both for the clarification.
