It look likes
Phaonia errans, or some other
Phaonia, but not Helina evecta (reddish legs!)

Indeed ! :D
As we are both thinking about the same species, it as really a good chance to be
Phaonia errans !;)

thank you erikas and stephane - looking through the muscidae photo gallery is daunting - is there an atlas of the muscidae of britain or a 'twenty most common spring species' to help a beginner get started?
i shall post one more picture tonight that I took today with quite pronounced triangles (do these have a technical name) on the abdomen
thanks ever so much for your replies - keen to learn and may make it a project for the year as I am doing a mini-survey of this particularly large city cemetary
