Is this little one ID'able. Size, about 3-4 mm.

That very bristled abdomen reminds me of
Megaselia rufipes. I don't think that any other common British phorids have it.

Thanks Tony for the initial ID, and Brian for confirming. There are no Phoridae on the Shetland Checklist, so another unrecorded one to add to the list. :).
