Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Orange fly : Pegomya ?

Hello

I found this orange fly today in my garden. I expected something like Phaonia pallida at first sight but I realized that the veination and the chetotaxy is quite different. After a quick search, I found some species of the genus Pegomya that seem to be very close. For example, P. testacea (and P. prisca that isn't known in France) or P. vittigera.
What's your opinion about my fly ?
