Hi,
this is indeed a Tephritidae, it looks like Anomoia purmunda to me.
I don't know if there are similar species, and I only got my key yesterday. (see topic above :)) I already figured out it isn't so safe to key out a species with photo's...
Bye, Jonas

So far as I know
Anomoia purmunda doesn't have any lookalikes, so I think your ID is safe. :)

No question - an
Anomoia, but the species identity needs further confirmation. Its yellow scutellum and silvery microtrichosity look so uncommon to me...
WHERE IS IT FROM?

My first guess was it could be an introduced Chonese or Japanese species. However, nothing in that area like that except purmunda. I think, it's just sort of light change.

Thanks to all for id.
The fly was seen in the Netherlands (Vlissingen).
