Could someone help me identifying these fly?
I think it's an Ulidiidae, but I'm not sure
The photo (author: Enrique Gil) was made near Huesca, Spain, on 8.5.2012.

Thanks

Platyparea discoidea (Tephritidae) - possible stem-borer of Campanula.

Thank you, Tony;
It is possible that this is the first record of the species to Spain.
Best regards,

Surely it is! Go ahead, I am waiting for a published record to include it into Fauna Europaea!

Of course, Valery, I'm writing the paper on this record!
