 The photos are not too good since the specimen is alive at the moment. We found several of these flies on an island (Oksøy Lighthouse) outside Kristiansand, Norway, 07.08.2020. Anyone have a clue what it is? I can send more detailed photos of specific parts if necessary.

 In Europe we have a Tephritis with comet-ish wing design :
This is Tephritis cometa.
