Hello,
I got two different flies on the same day on Ivy, 15th October. (my garden near Lincoln UK).
The previous fly I had and is in the gallery, Campichoeta obscuripennis, seems to be the same but there looks to be differences.
The first fly, pics 1 & 2, has the white tip to the tail but the antennae look smaller and the face not as long. That could be an illusion due to the angle, it is a female so is probably the same species.
The second fly, pics 3 & 4 I think could be the male of the same species! They both had the same wing pattern, dark with two light patches separated by a dark area in the middle.
Is this correct?
Janet :)

Thanks Paul, sure enough for the gallery? It would be good to show the wing pattern as well as the male.

Sure, sumbit them. For certainty I will check them when I get back to the office but I am quite confident.
