This Tephritid was photographed visiting Cirsium spp by the River Vedena, Bulgaria on 30 Jul 2011. I think it is Xiphosia miliaria but would be grateful if someone more experienecd than I am would confirm that I have this correctly identified.

My apologies that the image is not as sharp as I would like.

Many thanks

Alan

You are right. Xyphosia miliaria.
