Seen in Cults, Aberdeen durung July 2020. Going by the photos in the Gallery I'm guessing Urophora solstitialis to be the best match... Anything other it might be?

I think the host is needed to decide between U. solstitialis and U. cuspidata.

As it is from Aberdeen, then only U. solstitialis. Compared to U. cuspidata, it also has a hypervariable wing pattern and a slightly more rounded wing tip.
