Hello!
This 5 mm fly was waving with its wings all the time - left one, right one, left one... B). It was sitting on a
Leucanthemum vulgare yesterday (Ostwestfalen/Germany). I think it's a
Tephritis sp., but which one?

Hi J?rgen,
Considering the host plant and the wingpattern it should be T. neesii.
By the way : The T. conura-couple at your site rather looks like a Oxyna-couple to me.

Hi Jurgen,
I agree with Ben, it's probably
T. neesii.
