Hi :)
I thought this might be Botanophila fugax but it looks like Delia platura from the tail end. It looks newly emerged.
7th April, near Lincoln UK.

Well that was quite magnificent of course. But there's also the curved apical spur on the front tibia in the last shot - that really got me going!

That wasn't very clear, does this show it better? I got lots of shots!
