Hello
Collected 17 05 10, size 11mm.
If I don't make a mistake about genus, I think L. comta.

Hmm, interesting fly - very red on the abdomen but it does have hairy eyes, projecting mouth edge and pale basicosta ... I have never knowingly seem
L.comta though so I will wait for Theo :) Something looks wrong though - it is very hairy and has a deep gena ... not sure what it might be though.

Looks indeed like comta-subgroup. The hairs on sternite 1 should be light, not dark, you might verify that.
However, proclinate oe are lacking, so it can't be comta and should be its sister species soror.
A male

Effectively hairs on the sternite 1 are bright.
A little bit visible on this photo

I had little doubt they were.
SO Linnaemyia soror it is, a male
