From the wing pattern, either T. neesii or T. separata (their wing patterns overlap), which differ by the presence / absence of black setulae on abdominal tergites.

In the spring, when Anthemis / Leucanthemum are blossoming, T. neesii is common on it. T. separata shows up on Picris in June and July/
So, 96% of probability is T. neesii.
