Villa cingulata has been increasing in the UK in recent years, and is usually found on chalk grassland. Although Villa are not easy to identify from photos (nor from specimens sometimes!) I can't see anything in these excellent photos to suggest that it's not this species.

It's a good record, and I'd appreciate receiving the details in due course for the recording scheme that covers these flies, see:

Thanks to mossnisse for the link to Falck 2009, I hadn't seen that before.
