Indeed seems the 'red' one more on the ad site.
So, with only two posterior preapical setea, we have to look if the other characters will fit to P. deprimata:

Occiput without any pale hairs ventrally = correct
Frontal vitta with cruciate interfrontals = correct
Hindtibia with only 2 ad = seems correct (not 100% good visible)
Postpedical dark = correct
Face almost flat = seems correct
(lower margin of head in profile shorter than length of head at level of lunule)
Parafacial in lateral view very narrow = seems correct

But I can't see if the lower katepisternal seta is only about 0,6 times length of upper katepisternal........if this also is correct, than we can assume this is indeed a female Pegomya deprimata (Zetterstedt)
