An interesting Tephritid, which I see for the first time. Maybe Platyparea sp. But wing pattern seems to be different from most discoidea. The recently described carpathica is clearly different. Just a variation of discoidea? or I am off with the genus?

Gabor, you are correct with the genus.
I'd say Platyparea discoidea, but we know too few about its pattern variability. Do you have a chance to collect a specimen or two in the alcohol there?
Thsnk you in advance!

This was in an area with lots of ramsons (Allium ursinum), which we visit in the ramsons season. If I find this fly next year, I will collect it.
