A tephritid I do not recognise.

Myopites, which is a taxonomical dysaster in Europe!
Given it's potential host Pulicaria it can be either M. apicatus or M. inulaedyssentericae.

Hello John!
Thanks a lot for the identification. Since it was too small and very active I could not take good quality pictures from this tiny tephritid. I add other image which is probably give a better view but not sure..
