Hi
A fly caught 2 days ago in a forest close to Paris. I thought at first sight that it could belongs to genus
Tephritis but I was not able to find a similar species. It ressembles
Tephritis recurrens (and turkish species not found from France) a little but I think it is another one. I also looked at close genera (
Actinoptera, Capitites, Goniurellia, Trupanea) but without any result.
Any idea ?
Found in Forêt de Fausses Reposes, Ville-d'Avray, Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France, France
Body length : around 4 mm

The ovipositor has white hairs as in
T. nessii whose I found some specimens yesterday in an other place. So I wondered if it could be a specimen with very unsual wing markings but I'm not convinced at all.
