Found this tine fly on a potted rose. Could barely see it was a fly :) Could it be Oscinella frit?

Size: ~2-3mm
Date: 13 August 2009
Location: On a potted (English) rose (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thanks!

Not a very good photo, but the only one I have.

Oscinella is likely. Species is very difficult with Oscienella, as there are many similar species.

Thank you both. I've seen O. maura there earlier but this one doesn't seem to have white arista.
