 c5mm, Lancashire England 12 June 2010.

For this one I think L. riparia, but with doubts about triangula. The pre-acs are in two rows, but the frontal triangle seems brown rather than 'whitish dusted'. The arista has short hairs fairly regularly spaced, so probably a bit more than 'pubescent'. The abdominal spots look more triangular than trapezoidal. Do the photos tell anything?

 3 The second post-dc is much weaker than the other three - not sure if it counts.

 In view of http://www.dipter...d_id=32381, this must be L. triangula?

 100% not riparia.
Most probably maculosa. How many p-setae on t2 (if second ones are broken the pores should still present)?

 Definitely one each side, no sign of a second pore.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
