This rather nice fly was found in the Wyre Forest, UK on 16 June 2007. I think it is Pallopteridae. Can anyone tell me anymore?

I'd say Geomyza. |

Far better! It's a Tephritid: Acidia cognata. Larvae min in leaves of Petasites spp. It's a very fresh specimen, the colours in the wings aren't fully developped yet. John |

That one had me completely fooled  ! I never thought about the wing markings not being fully developed. Thanks for ID help to John and Paul. Nigel Jones, Shrewsbury, United Kingdom |
