Hello,
today (14.05.2020) I saw this fly on Leucanthemum vulgare in Leipzig (Saxony/ Germany), but I have no idea what this fly could be called…
Best regards
Maik

Wing venation points to Rhinophoridae, so it could be
Phyto melanocephala. Compare here
https://diptera.i...d_id=23586 and here
https://diptera.i...d_id=21866 - in both cases there is this short blind vein on crossvein dm-cu, I have observed it several times, though it is not necessarily present. Change the title of the post to attract Theo for confirmation and explanation of the blind vein!
