could be
Urophora jaceana but i think that a host plant is necessary for males.
wait for an expert opinion.

Almost certainly
Urophora solstitialis L. -- The fore femur is entirely yellow in U. jaceana

Concerning U. cuspidata -- yes, it is possible, but males cannot be identified with certainty unless you know the host plant
