Perhaps Ceroxys urticae?

Hello Rosevinge, I agree with you but i have very little experience with Ulidiidae.
I have keys to this genus and C. urticae seems to be correct.

"third dark transverse band of wings extend from margin to atleast m3+4."
with C. hortulana, the band is supposed to be broken.

Ceroxys urticae, no doubts.

Hello Rosevinge, I forgot that Valery is a Ulidiidae specialist. I always think Tephritidae. So you certainly don't need my opinion. I'm happy that you have an id. Also, the photos are very nice. Now i have a solid understanding of what it looks like outside of a description. I hope that you have a pleasant day.

edit: I forgot that Valery is also a Ulidiidae specialist. I always think just Tephritidae.
sorry. i am tired today.
