I believe this might be Urophora. Taken in the same thistles of the Tephritid of my previous thread. Thanks in advance for any confirmation or species ID!

This is a dorsal view of the female:

Saeed is right, and the thistle is apparently Carthamus, normal host for East Mediterranean luteola, too.
