I guessed that it was unlikely to be bazini in Lincoln! Apart from an old record (1941)of 1 male from Worcs, it is only known recently from Merioneth. See my paper, 2007, Dipterists Digest 13:97-100, Anthomyia bazini Seguy (Diptera, Anthomyiidae) rediscovered in Britain after 65 years. One could identify bazini males from the 5th sternite ; apart from that it is almost identical to procellaris. I assumed the female was procellaris because it is very common, and the black postsutural spot reaches the wing base, unlike pluvialis. I c an only see about 5 ad-setae on the hind tibia of the female in the enlarged photo, imbrida generally has more.
