Urophora quadrifasciata
Very small fly. Black body with elongated abdomen. White dot on thorax. Wings with distinct patterining.
Suburban garden. Found feeding on daisies.
Native to Europe. Introduced to North America to control Knapweed. I thought it was a picture-winged fly at first. It's actually a species of Fruit Fly!
