Berlin - July 2017

Hello everyone,

I noticed photos of a female Tephritidae on my hard-drive from 2017. I think it is a Tephritis species but i don't know how to scientifically separate Tephritis and Campiglossa.

Anyway, i found it in heathland sitting on a leaf, so i don't know the host plant. I've tried to match the wing pattern and i think that it resembles Tephritis matricariae and leontodontis.
Maybe i can get a tip in the right direction?

Also, I noticed that the gallery doesn't have any photos of Tephritis tanaceti. Has the name changed or is it because noone has uploaded photos of it?
Valery, rather Dr. Korneyev, has identified a Tephritis tanaceti in one of my earlier posts. Thus, i can provide a photo for the gallery if it is helpful.
