Cordilura (Scatophagidae). The larvae of this genus develop in the roots and lower stems of Carex, Juncus etc and the adults are common in various wetlands.

The scutellum is black. In the 1st pic the anal lobe (a part of the wing) reflects flash or sun in front of the scutellum and in the 2nd pic we see the white reflective dusting which is not obvious when the fly is examined from other directions.

Looks very like Cordilura ciliata female. This species is rather common in woods near Norwich at the moment.

thank you very much Kahis and Tony.

I can say your knowledge is somehow 'not human' Shock
(and that is a compliment Smile)

This Cordilura sp. (perhabs ciliata) was seen in a swampy biotope, lots of trees in a muddy forest.

I will call it Cordilura sp.
