Found 2 females of this fly on a dead tree stump- both were tasting their way round active digger wasp holes and then ovipositing either in or near the holes. About 10mm body length. Taken today South coast UK Any ideas on ID ? Brian V.    |

It is Eustalomyia hilaris. Roger is right. Here it is common at 1400 m in Serra da Estrela. |

Thanks for the ID  Do these have any relationship with digger wasps or was that a coincidence ? Brian v. |
