5.5mm, Clitheroe UK, 26 June.

From what I can see from this angle I come to D. trivialis/plumitarsis/migrans (using Igor's 2006 key). I have a male trivialis from a few miles away in 2010, so I tried looking at the M vein from the same angle, and it does look similar. Can anyone help?

Today I collected a male in the same part of the park. It keyed convincingly to D. trivialis.

Here's a very impressionistic rendering of the male (sitting on a moving leaf in low light) stacked from 19 blurry photos!
