Tephritidae--Trupanea bisetosa? - Trupanea nigricornis - Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, San Diego County, California, USA March 7, 2007 Size: BL~3.5, to wing tip 4.5
Another guess! I went with T. bisetosa rather than T. nigricornis because the antennae appear yellow. We saw this on Brittlebush in Borrego Palm Canyon. Quite a beautiful pattern on the elongate wings!
