Is this a male Phaonia sp., possibly P. incana? Seen on 26/05/2021 in the margin of a commercial strawberry field in Kent, UK.

Many thanks,
Dylan

Ah ok. Yes, the cross-veins do appear to be dark, as in Helina evecta. Do you think there is enough detail in this photo to rule out Helina annosa?

Many thanks,
Dylan

I don't think so. It is not visible, whether the aristae are bare or plumose.
Best regards,
Jürgen
