Scathophagidae; Looks like it might be Cleigastra sp. maybe apicalis (f) going by Gallery pics. |

Perhaps Nanna the other possibility. |

Thank you both for the input. I see the similarities with Nanna but Cleigastra apicalis (f) has the edge for me. Can anyone give a definitive opinion? Best Wishes, David |
