Could somebody please help me identify this fly; I think it is possibly a Rhagionidae species. It was taken 5/07/2010 in north Cardiff, South Wales, in a bramble/bracken margin between wood and meadow.

Rhagionidae is correct, genus will be possible.

Rhagio, I think
tringarius (without my key at hand to check).

The very light (yellow) stigma is an almost unique feature for this Rhagio (shared only with the very rare spring species annulata)
So actually it is pretty easy
