I am aware that these species are difficult to separate on photos. However, if the length of the oviscape is decisive, is this serratulae? Meadow a bit north of Copenhagen, Denmark, mid july 2009. Three more photos to follow.

Terellia serratulae.

T. longicauda has the oviscapus as long as the abdomen.
