I think it is rare Tephritidae - Chaetostoma stackelbergi! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

it seems that subcosta bends like a Tephritidae. What vibrissae!!!!  usually tephritid flies haven?t vibrissae but there are some that have it... like this one... ah! your small wasp is a Cynipid perhaps  see the other section and compare with my photos.  |

I would say it is - Chaetostoma curvinerve not C. stackelbergi, but it's still a rare Tephritidae. Known in the Uk from Cornwall, Dorest, Surrey and Sussex.

1. I'm sorry, in my key there is only Ch. stackelbergi and I didn't check in FauneEuropea 2. According FaunaEuropea correct name is Chetostoma (not ChAetostoma). Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
