Hi forum,
is this Trupanea amoena? Found on a meadow in Vienna near Wienerwald in late April

No, the black Y-mark at the wing tips is typical for several Tephritis species but not seen in Trupanea (compare http://www.reposi...ent/159713). This is a case for Valery!
I shall post another fly that I think is a Trupanea.

Thanks a lot! Going through the gallery, the closest I could find was T. carmen. Hopefully Val will chime in

It looks to be T. carmen, indeed.
