You did a nice job on these photos !!

Palps yellowish at base + no interfrontals + legs yellowish + abdomen and thorax greyish + acrostichals strong but small and with some hairs between + frontal vitta almost whole orange + lower katepisternal seta relative long + prealar about half and arista thickened at base......
Should be Pegomya betae !
I could be wrong with P. hyoscyami (what i know, looks very simular..?, but should have lower katepisternal shorter.

Joke :)

Hi Joke,
Thanks for the ego boost regarding quality of photo's, it is of course well deserved...:D.
P.betae sounds good to me as it is unrecorded up here. I've compared this with a picture of P.hyoscyami in the Gallery, and to my eyes looks different.
Regards Roger
