 I think it is rare Tephritidae - Chaetostoma stackelbergi!

 it seems that subcosta bends like a Tephritidae. What vibrissae!!!! Shock
usually tephritid flies haven?t vibrissae but there are some that have it... like this one...

ah! your small wasp is a Cynipid perhaps Smile see the other section and compare with my photos. Wink

 I would say it is - Chaetostoma curvinerve not C. stackelbergi, but it's still a rare Tephritidae. Known in the Uk from Cornwall, Dorest, Surrey and Sussex.

 i agree with Andrew re identification. this fly is spreading rapidly now, numerous records from south coast counties, south Wales Gloucestershire and Thames Valley. Latest data from Tephritid recording scheme lista 30 hectads and 44 records Clemons 2007 Dip. Forum Bulletin.

 1. I'm sorry, in my key there is only Ch. stackelbergi and I didn't check in FauneEuropeaSad
2. According FaunaEuropea correct name is Chetostoma (not ChAetostoma).
