Could just see the silhouette of this fly under a Sycamore branch in my garden. One shot with flash and it disappeared. About 5-6mm in length. Any ID possible from this photo?

genus Tephrochlamys Loew :). Probably T. flavipes if subcostal cell in the basal half darkened (but not visible B))

Hi Andrzej
I have one from genus Tephrochlamys on my checklist for Shetland (which may not be complete), and that is T.rufiventris. Possible?
Regards Roger:)

Hmm, maybe yes maybe not, please be patient for ID to the species level. I'll found a character at the photo as soon as possible.
