Hi, I need some help to identify this couple of flies.

I made this photo in the middle of may. It was taken in Switzerland, next to the Neuchatel lake in a wildflower strip.

I think it could be Tephritis. Is it possible to identify it to the species?

Thanks in advance,

Nadine

Almost certainly, Tephritis neesii - another evidence is the host plant, a big daisy (Leucanthemum) they make love on...
