Hi !

Center of France, april 18th 2017, on a honeysuckle leaf.
Could it be Tephritis conura (female) ?
Thanks for help :

No. Certainly NOT conura. It could be T. separata, T. neesii or T. rydeni, but the abdomen, which is important (if there are black setulae) is not visible. Sorry for uncertain ID.

T. separata and T. rydani are not present on french mainland, but T. neesii is common.
