This one found at Scatsta Airport a couple of nights ago....a pale
furcata or something else?

S. furcata is also my guess.

Hello Stephan,
S. furcata? For me not really, acrostichal setae too long!?
Regards,
Frank

Sorry Franck I can't see any long acrostichal. Aren't you mistaken with the dc ?

Thanks Stephane and Frank
It certainly looks a lot different from the last one I posted
http://www.dipter...ost_131957, just shows how variable these things are.
A couple of nights ago I photographed a
S.stercoraria which had just walked past an
E.pertinax male and it was almost the same size. I tried to catch it for your collection Stephane but it got away :|. Huge thing.
Roger
EDIT, The Beast of Scatsta..Male S.sterco. in glorious technicolour...
