Have a good Day. One Question please. I found another picture of tephritis. Could this be tephritis crepidis? Unfortunately, I only have this one picture. I would be very grateful for an answer.
Location data: Austria, Lower Austria, Tattendorf, 220m, garden, 3.4.2024
Kind regards Karl.

Merz (1994) proposed to distinguish it the followng way:
♂: Präglans ohne Dornen (Abb. 22c); ♀ : Oviscapt schwarz, selten am Rand
etwas heller; auf Crepis biennis und C. pyrenaica........(S.6 6 ) crepidis
— ♂: Präglans mit Dornen (Abb. 22d); ♀ : Oviscapt meist rötlich mit schwarzem
Mittelstreifen; auf Crepis conyzifolia....... (S. 6 5 ) conyzifoliae
Oviscape colouration, however, in some populations, slightly vary; with 95% probability, it IS
crepidis.
