No - but I will go back if it is interesting - its a nice spot - but not today as it looks like its going to rain in a minute. These are the Cheilosia so far recorded from the park. Cheilosia aerea Cheilosia albitarsis Cheilosia antiqua Cheilosia impressa Cheilosia grossa Cheilosia melanura Cheilosia nigripes Cheilosia rufipes Cheilosia scutellata Cheilosia variabilis Cheilosia vicina Gordon |

I have looked at it again and now compared with my collection, the angle of the picture gave me some doubt about the face and it looked very red. But: Lukasz is right, this is Ch. grossa! |

Ah - good - that makes life simpler - still it is nice fly, probably worthy of a better photograph. Thanks for your time Andre.
