I've just seen photos of larvae that emerged from mines like this in CA, and they are definitely Zeugophora.

Suspiciously like this one
...but all members of this group [
Pegomya
subgenus
Pegomya
,
P. hyoscyami
section,
P. genupuncta
subsection] are supposed to mine in the aster family, and I don't think any anthomyiids are known to mine in woody plants. Very strange. If it really were an anthomyiid mine, there should be one or more eggs like this on the underside of the leaf
...which I don't see, but anthomyiid larvae can exit their natal leaves and enter new ones, so it's still a possibility.
