Just as a pointer Nick - the conopids do look a bit like syrphids but the wing venation is all wrong Wink

Thanks guys - syrphidae was a guess, I too wasn't happy about the venation (honestly!) but didn't know why (I couldn't see the vena spuria but to be honest couldn't see much there really, all a bit confused with the wings closed).
Anyway, thanks again.

A recent Avast update of virus definitions cause a false positive on the site for a trojan. The guilty code was updated but you may have to clear the blocks from Avast.
