Please, can someone identify the species of this fly? Larva and pupae are of the same species. Larva is a miner on Rumex sp. plant.
Thanks!

Pegomya (Anthomyiidae)

I'd say Pegomya sp. (female).

For plant association, see http://www.ukflym...RUMEX.html

I think it's probably P. bicolor, as I think I see three equal preapical setae on the dorsal side of the hind tibia in image 1.

Yes, damage on leaves looks like this.
Thank you very much.

Prealar seems long, forefemur infuscated and coxae brownish / yellow, .....
So I have doubt if it is P. bicolor (in female the forefemur should be whole yellow, also coxae and prealar short)
But....whole antennae looks very dark.
I would say, P. solennis, but with female ...always difficult!!
(and the P. bicolor from the link....I also have doubt if it is P. bicolor)
