Hello Val and Ben,
thank you very much for the close examination and the interesting discussion of this fly and the final agreement on the species. So I think it is safe to count it as Tephritis crepidis. In case they are of interest to you I attach some additional pictures. Unfortunately the fly decided (after picture 1 above) to make off into the distance when I moved closer with the camera, and it was not seen again.

Best wishes,
Hans Theo
