Found today in a marshy field at Little Ayre, Muckle Roe. I have one species of Notiphila in my checklist.....Notiphila cinerea Fall./nigricornis Stenhammer
Any idea if this could be it?

Regards Roger

All legs black, antennae with 1-2 basal segments black and apical segment darkened, face coloration bright contrasting to coloration of frons, looks like Notiphila brunipes R.-D.B)
