Certainly Agromyzidae. The pale vein on the upper border of cell bm, which is often seen in Agromyzidae, is nicely seen here. |

Thank You again. I tried to use the key but could not go further from angeliphaga / lappae, so it will stay as Melanagromyza sp. Jari |

Melanagromyza is an extremely difficult genus, if you really want grey hairs, try eg. Pakalniskis´s key for female Melanagromyzas... Additional thanks for Viktor for that interesting taxonomic comment of the pale vein in Agromyzidae - though I think these can't be mixed with any other family. |
