I'm not sure whether the attached record shots are of a tephritid. Could anyone help me with species? Taken in Bedfordshire, UK yesterday. Stephen Plummer attached the following image:  [95.14Kb] |

Wing pattern almost matches the photo of Merzomyia westermanni in the Gallery, but that is a female....this is a male so may well be that species. |
