I have looked in many places to identify this fly. Apologies for the bad quality of photo, the fly was quite a distance away. Many thanks Christina christina attached the following image:  [120.13Kb] |

Welcome to the forum Christina - this looks like Eriothrix rufomaculata, a tachinid parasitoid of Crambus moths  It often helps if you add your Location ... advice would differ if you were in Australia, for instance 
Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

Thank you for the welcome and identification ChrisR. The location was Rye Mead, an RSPB nature reserve in Hertfordshire, which is near Hoddesdon. Hope this helps and I shall remember to put up the location when I post. Thanks again Christina |
