Can anyone ID this tephritid to species for me? A Terellia I think, but doesn't match the 2 I've photographed nearby before T. colon and T. longicauda based on wing patterning at least.

Many thanks Valery, I thought it fitted T. tussilagnis well in the gallery and it is a common UK species, but I wasn't sure which characters were definitive.
