Is there enough detail visible to identify this, please? I think it is Paramormia decipiens from tufa seepages on cliffs by the Menai Strait, North Wales, 7 August 2011. I identified it using Phil Withers' key in Dipterists Digest, and the club-shaped aedeagus alone seemed to narrow it down to very few species.

Two more pictures to come.

I'm raising the profile of this post to give it another chance. Any ideas anyone, please?

From these pictures I can't even tell you the genus, I am sorry.
