 Looks like a female Norellisoma spinimanum ? a close up of antenna would clinch it.

If so - often found on or near Dock leaves

 Is this clear enonough Mark?

I cannot remember seeing much dock but I see this fly (or v similar) quite fairly often - this is the first reasonable picture I have taken.

Thanks

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

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.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
