When we look in Fauna Europea many
Anthomyia species do not occur in European Turkey (Istanbul) including
A. procellaris and
A. pluvialis.
Probable just because a lack of research on Anthomyiidae.
I don’t think this is
A. procellaris (the postsutural black spot does not broadly confluent with the small black spot above wing base), …so it could be
A. pluvialis, but I am not convinced it really is, just because I expect there are many other
Anthomyia species possible for (European)Turkey.
I would keep it for now as
Anthomyia species.
Best way for a correct identification, is to collect specimen and prepare the genitals.

I photographed A. procellaris, A. pluvialis and A. confuseana from the same location I photographed this specimen. The median black stripe on the middle of the anterior lobe of pronotum is not present neither in A. procellaris nor in A. pluvialis. What do you think about this fact?

The darker line between the presutural spots on mesonotum, maybe could indicate
A. quinquemaculata, but I really need to see the genitals.
Outer characters such as the black spots can vary in
Anthomyia.
Often the differents between species only can be found by the shape of the gonites.

I also noticed something while photographing this specimen. Other Anthomyia species are always sitting on the main body of the trees. But this one was not on a tree.
I will try to collect it but they fly very fast!

I checked the male genitalia. Perfectly matching with Anthomyia quinquemaculata, a species known already from Turkey according to Fauna Europea! Thank you alot for the help!
