(Tephritidae barr 04)
This tiny fly of about 3mm was moving about on new orange flower buds. The strikingly patterned wings were waving around constantly. The abdomen was droplet shaped with a very pointed tail.
Suburban back yard on grafted citrus flower buds.
A fruit fly of the non destructive variety.
Rotten pics due to size, constant movement and very windy day but might be enough for an ID.
