Hi All

In a previous posting this fly was thought to be Linnaemy spp possibly vulpina.It was found this September on heathland in North West England.I have uploaded a second image showing its femur,hopfully this may clinch it.
Cheers Harry

Yes, Linnaemya vulpina is a heathland species with densely-hairy eyes, protruding mouth edge and orange femurs. :)
