Suillia affinis by the look of it.

Not
S. affinis ! Arista pubescent and femora distinctly "swollen".
I would say
similis species-group ! Difficult to ID from the pics ! :@

Hmm..Close for me..;)..but no cigar :|.
Thanks for explaining the visual differences Andrzej. Learned more from getting it wrong, than by being "lucky" and getting it right.
Regards Roger

Hi Andrzej
Maybe I should have put "some" of the visual differences in my previous post..:)..but then I wouldn't have got the next step..;)..I dread to think how many more there are. :|. Don't tell me.....that's enough information for a wet Tuesday morning in Shetland.
Regards Roger
