I would say Helina depuncta / impuncta
Legs yellow, crossveins infuscated, pre-alar same as post.noto.pleural
I think there are 3 dc, so H. depuncta, .....but I'm not 100% sure (if 4 dc, H.impuncta)

Thank you Joke
I have H.impuncta on the dreaded Checklist so I think I'll go with that....Don't suppose the Fly Police will come around in the middle of the night to confiscate my Laptop for wrongful naming of a fly. Wink

Regards Roger

I must assume by this reply you have never listened to Frank Zappa...Joe's Garage Act 1.Wink
Or maybe you have heard it ShockShock.

The saw would be more use to ME !!!!! My arse is still recovering from my recent attempted flight, so you better keep the TeleFunken U-47...Grin

Thanks for the ID Joke Smile H.depuncta is unrecorded up here.
