This next one reminds me a lot of a tachinid fly but was rather small. It held a territory on a sycamore leaf.

Yes, looks like a tachinid but I am not sure which (maybe something like Lypha dubia?)- need more detail really  When was it seen?

Hi Chris I saw it (or perhaps 2 different individuals) on the 15th and 16th May. It was an in area of smallish sycamore trees sheltered behind a building, in a rural area of East Lothian. |
