Looks like Opomyza petrei but I'm not entirely convinced. The abdomen is not that brightly coloured. I have seen females of Opomyza spec. that looked like this but turned out to be O. germinationis. Did you collect the specimen?

Jan, I did not collect, but all "large" Opomyzas I see these days have the same brightlness on the abdomen. So it should be an easy task to go out and pick one By the way O. lineatopunctata has started to appear now, I will collect as promised. Hyperbolizer |

That would be great! With a specimen at hand it is easy to distingiush O. germinationis from O. petrei (in most cases). And some material of O lineatopunctata would be great.
