Very interesting ... I don't know what it is but it reminds me of Sturmia or Blepharipa ... but I don't see a bristle-comb on the hind tibia, so I could be completely wrong :)

There is only one Sturmia in Europe, so Sturmia cf. bella should read cf. Sturmmia bella.
Anyway, it is Sturmia bella, so you can skip cf. everywhere !
Typical autumn species

I found this species only yesterday in South Yorkshire, UK, so can confirm (not that confirmation is needed).

Nice :) I haven't seen many this year and the umbellifers are mainly dead here so not much was flying at all today :(
