Rishworth-Leaf Mines

After a walk in my local wood (Turner Wood) I was examining the various flora in the woods and I noticed a couple of what I think are non-tenanted leaf mines on  some Himalayan Balsam. I would recommend this wood for searching for any plants and fungi and moths.

                                           Are these leaf mines? If they are which species?

They are mines but not lepidopterous - maybe Phytoliriomyza melampyga
