Could it be a of Tephritis leontodontis? I take the photo on 7 May 2011 Kokkola, Finland. Pentti Pentti Ketola attached the following image:  [98.42Kb] |

Very probably T. matricariae Lw. However, for perfect ID a reared series incl females needed.

Wouldn't that be quite a remarkable record faunistically - at least according to Merz (1994), matricariae is mainly a Central European if not a Mediterranean species? |

Before Merz, that group of species was hardly recognizeable, so no reliable records over Europe. Anyway, firstly the group is rather boreal and montaneous than really Mediteranean. Secondly, I do not take a liberty to ID the species ultimately without a material. Thirdly, Finland must be still having tephritid surprises.
