Looks like it might be Sepsidae...very small fly...windy day, so not as sharp as I'd have liked.
Is it possible to get an ID????

Thanks for that Phil Smile,
A new species (or at least an unrecorded one) for Shetland. The only Sepsidae recorded up here is Sepsis flavimana according to my Checklist...
Anyone take it to species level???
Regards Roger
