Thanks Paul, I have one more showing a little more of the face but I doubt it would help.

Any improvement on the 'might' welcomed, we don't have one in the gallery.Wink

I've looked at some of last years pics and thought I would revive this one.

I have another pic from 7th May which looks like the same fly.. I had temporarily given it the name of Empis bicuspidata because it looks to have two 'cusp's on the tail end, with the intention of checking it out later.

First I will post the other angle I had of the first fly which might help.. hopefully!
