Hello,
is this the mine of Phytomyza ranunculi? As I saw, there are unfortunately a few similar species.
Plant: Ranunculus acris
14.09.2019
Forest path near Furth im Wald, Bavaria, Germany

Greetings
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid, it looks very good for P. ranunculi TumbsUp
ukflymines to P. runculivora:
"Forms an elongated linear mine with the frass grains are widely spaced, which enables distinction between this species and P.ranunculi, where the frass is in closely adjoining grains."
