I'm not sure whether the attached record shots are of a tephritid. Could anyone help me with species?
Taken in Bedfordshire, UK yesterday.

Wing pattern almost matches the photo of
Merzomyia westermanni in the Gallery, but that is a female....this is a male so may well be that species.

Yep,
Merzomyia westermanni (Meigen, 1826)
