Another one found feeding on umbelifers in my Wolverhampton garden - can anybody help with an ID?

Muscidae: Phaonia. Perhaps angelicae?

I think so. We can't see if there are some pv on mid tibia, but overall appearance and additional pd on hind tibia (basally) tell me it is P. angelicae too.

Many thanks for your help, Paul and Stephane! Is there ONE identifying feature which tells you this is Muscidae, perhaps wing venation? I am trying to learn to identify these myself and would appreciate all the help I can get!

Wing venation could be the ONE, providing that you can see all its characteristic veins (rarely the case on picture).
