Certainly a Platystoma, but no further ID from this picture is possible.

The very famous fly every famous Tephritidae expert tried to determine using tephritid keys (of course when he or she was just a young newbee).

Back to the first pictures, I'd hazard a guess at Platystoma lugubre in which the two hyaline spots apicad of the terminus of R1, are divided by a third spot in cell R2+3. To my knowledge no other species in Platystoma has this pattern. Looking closely, it appears that the third spot actually joins the proximal of the two R1 spots, making appear that the proximal spot is branched ... possibly variation ... Val?
