OK. I am not @silent@.
Certainly, Urophora solstitialis (Carduus feeder).
It possesses black stripes on the forefemur, and the only species in your area having such a character in combination with 4 crossbands on wing, is U. cuspidata (from Centaurea scabiosa L.). However, that species normally has less variable, wider and consolidated pattern, so I suggest it to beU. solstitialis.
