Good morning!

I spotted this little fly yesterday, but it was the other side of the herb bed and I couldn't get at it without running the risk of going A/T... so my pics are a bit ropey...

Someone saw the pic on Flickr and suggested Tephritis conura with a link to this gallery, which was kind of them.

The wing pattern certainly looks close, but to my untrained eye, not quite right. The limited view afforded by my photography/the fly screws things up a bit.

Mid-Essex, on sage in the sun, in garden.

Any thoughts on the matter, anyone?
