Thanks Stephane and Frank
It certainly looks a lot different from the last one I posted http://www.dipter...ost_131957, just shows how variable these things are.
A couple of nights ago I photographed a S.stercoraria which had just walked past an E.pertinax male and it was almost the same size. I tried to catch it for your collection Stephane but it got away Frown. Huge thing.

EDIT, The Beast of Scatsta..Male S.sterco. in glorious technicolour...
