Could this 3-4 mm long fly be a Dioxyna bidentis?
Found on Tanacetum vulgare.

It is not Dioxyna bidentis for 3 reasons:

1. Gena is not protruding enough
2. Apical bristles of scutellum are not minute.
3. The wing pattern is not indistinct enough.

This is Tephritis sp. in my opinion.

THe previous messageancelled! I took a closer look and now I think this is Campiglossa sp., C. difficilis could be the most likely species.

Campiglossa difficilis Hendel, indeed.
