Thank you Nikita! We don't have nay Norellia sp. in the gallery, maybe I can upload these if Paul wants them.
I found records of Norellia spinipes further south than me, but I am not much further north adn do have many unusual species of anything here!

It seems that Norellia pseudonarcissi is also Cordylura spinipes, same fly? I had a site with British records and synonyms once but lost it.

I found a pic of N. spinipes, I guess mine will have to remain as Norellia sp. :)

Dear Janet,
1. It is Norellia in sense of Andrey Ozerov, who regards Norellia and Norellisoma as same genus.
2. I don't think it is image for Gallery - too few characters are visible and we haven't precise ID
