Hello,

This looks like a male, otherwise it resembles Empis femorata but the male is different to this. The fly it had while it was feeding wasn't much smaller than itself, it looks like Anthomyia procellaris.

Taken on 28th July on Ragwort in my garden, near Lincoln UK.

Sorry, no books here and I think I might need a little better focus on the genitalia...

I have two shots showing that Paul. I've cropped the pics which might or might not help. ;)
