I would say Helina depuncta / impuncta
Legs yellow, crossveins infuscated, pre-alar same as post.noto.pleural
I think there are 3 dc, so H. depuncta, .....but I'm not 100% sure (if 4 dc, H.impuncta)

Joke :)

Thank you Joke
I have H.impuncta on the dreaded Checklist so I think I'll go with that....Don't suppose the Fly Police will come around in the middle of the night to confiscate my Laptop for wrongful naming of a fly. ;)

Regards Roger

1. Bring them on...:@

3. Better a saw, than that TeleFunken U-47 (Copyright...Frank Zappa) you normally brandish. :D

I must assume by this reply you have never listened to Frank Zappa...Joe's Garage Act 1.;)
Or maybe you have heard it :o:o.

The saw would be more use to ME !!!!! My arse is still recovering from my recent attempted flight, so you better keep the TeleFunken U-47...:D

Thanks for the ID Joke :) H.depuncta is unrecorded up here.
