Hi,
Tephritids are always fascinating. This nice one I met in the Berlin woods today. A name would be fine!
Many thanks, Sundew

I really should leave this one for Valery, but I stick my neck out and say
Philophylla caesio.

Indeed. An interesting color form with the 2 apical bands almost entirely fused.
