Found 2 females of this fly on a dead tree stump- both were tasting their way round active digger wasp holes and then ovipositing either in or near the holes. About 10mm body length. Taken today South coast UK
Any ideas on ID ?

It is Eustalomyia hilaris. Roger is right. Here it is common at 1400 m in Serra da Estrela.

Carry on like this and the Wild Guesses Club are going to kick me out, and me the Founding Member too.
Normal Service WILL resume as soon as this technical difficulty is sorted ;)

Thanks for the ID :)
Do these have any relationship with digger wasps or was that a coincidence ?
