This seems to key to Coenosiinae, but I can't get beyond there. I thought the very long genitalia would help, but I've looked through Muscidae of Central Europe and all the species with terminalia of this shape either have black palps and antennae or have not been recorded in Britain. Any help will be greatly appreciated, please. It was photographed in alcohol.
It was swept from flower-rich very dry limestone grassland on Great Orme, North Wales, 17 June 2010.
More pictures to follow.

Hmm. This isn't working, is it? It should have three photos attached by now. I'll try again another day.

Thanks very much. I'll go home and see where I went wrong.
