Saw this fly last night at a moth trapping session in southern England - looks like a Rhagio but is it scolopaceus? :)

Lack of wing markings suggests R. tringarius.

I don't think I have seen one of those - the habitat was a little atypical, being woodland on chalky soils, but Stubbs & Drake seem to think it can be found away from marshy places. :)

I find it on Great Orme and you can't get much less marshy than that.
