Wing pattern resembles North American Trypetinae (Tephritidae). It may be freshly emerged and lighter than the pictures in the gallery.

Are these two names synonims: Euleia fratria, E. heraclei?

Eulea fratria is a Nearctic sister-species to
E. heraclei, not a synonym. The puparium on the picture (this is a full one, not exuvium) certainly of
E. fratria, too.

Dear Valery,
You do realize it was taken in Serbia, Europe? In that case IŽld vote for E. heraclei

I second John. My vote is too for Euleia heraclei.

Picture is taken in South East Europe, so it is more likely E. heraclei.
