Hi Rui,

I am not sure if the first one is T. serratulae, that one is normally more greyish on the abdomen, can you give an indication about it's length? And do you perhaps have a photo from the side? So I can see the palps?

The second one is indeed Urophora stylata.

Hi John

I don't have good images from the side, just these two. Both flies are very common so I can photograph them another time. I'm not sure but Terellia must be about 4 to 5 mm.

The palps clearly protrude the mouthedge, therefore it must indeed be T. serratulae
