Hello,
Saw in south of France.
I thinks it's
Urophora solstitialis or
Urophora cuspidata, with the dark stripe on femora 1 ?
Do the broad wing stripes rather indicate
U. cuspidata ?
I don't know the host plant. There were a lot of
Centaurea for sure, but may be
Carduus too, I don't remember.

Hi Jessica,
Yes, you are right, it is more probably
U. cuspidata female than U. solstitialis (and certainly neither U. jaceana, nor U. aprica or U. lopholomae).
Is it from England?
