Hello,
on June 22nd this small female was ovipositing on Cytisus scoparius in a northern part of Hannover, Germany. Could it be Hexomyza sarothamni? I am sorry for not having a front photo.

Thank you for answering!
Hans

I see no reason it couldn't be Hexomyza sarothamni.

To run it through a key from subfamily Agromyzinae to species level you would need a good look at the face, and some luck.

Dear John,
a great THANK You! Yes, "some luck" would have been good - without wind, and a patient fly.

Thankful wishes from Hans
