Found this little 3-4mm fly looking a bit worn sitting on the greenhouse window...don't think I've had one like this before..ID'able? Only these two shots.
EDIT; Added
Coenosia to heading.

Thanks Stephen R and Stephane L,
I thought it had the look of a
Coenosia.
I have 6 of those on my Checklist to start with :|.
C. intermedia, means,mollicula,perpusilla,pumila and
tigrina, plus any that might not have been recorded.
Regards Roger.

Coenosia pumila was in my thoughts, but it is diffcult to identify with certitude most of the Coenosia without having specimen in hand.

Hi Stephane
It does compare well with Jarif's one in the Gallery.
At least 3 of the others I listed can be discounted going by the photo's in the Gallery.
Worth a cf.
pumila in my files I think.
Regards Roger
