Cowpea leafminer - request for identification
Dear Pestnetters,

Kindly attached a few pictures of mining on Cowpea leaves and the adults if anyone can help with the ID. Hope the pictures are useful. These were taken from Sigatoka valley - Fiji. Adults are roughly 5 mm in length. 
 
Many thanks

Yes, red or pink ?

There is one species on cotton leaves...quite different from Bucculatrix.
