Not even sure which family this is in, any ID help appreciated.

Scathophagidae; Looks like it might be
Cleigastra sp. maybe
apicalis (f) going by Gallery pics.

Perhaps Nanna the other possibility.

Thank you both for the input. I see the similarities with
Nanna but
Cleigastra apicalis (f) has the edge for me.
Can anyone give a definitive opinion?
Best Wishes,
