I found another Macquartia today, same site but about 300m away. Fully expected it to be another dispar, but it keyed out as grisea; calypter diverging from scutellum, apparently complete row of marginals on tergite 3, marginals on tergite 2, discals on tergite 3, yellow halter (just visible), not sure about ad on tibia 2 - looks like on on the left but two on the right. Your opinions gratefully received.

That is correct, this is grisea male. Very Muscid / Anthomyiid like !
