Last Tuesday I collected two Tephritis specimen by sweeping the vegetation in Terneuzen, the Netherlands. As I am not 100% sure about my ID, I would like to ask your opinion about it. The other Tephritis I will post in a separate thread. I made 4 pictures from nearly the same angle, because they look very similar but I think they are two species.

This one I think is Tephritis matricariae, because there are one pair of light spots around the R-M crossvein. I do not notice any yellow colour on tergite I-II, that is why I am not sure.
