I have just taken this fly from woodland edge in N Scotland. The whole fly is attached here. two posts with details of wing and antenna will follow. The antenna is odd - the third segment is very short, notched, and surrounded by the cup-like segment 2. A family name would be welcome.

Heleomyzidae. The third antennal segment is missing. Should be big and round. Probably Heleomyza sp. Andrzej

... and it seems to be Heleomyza serrata from the genitalia. M. |
