Photographed in the garden a couple of weeks ago. Very orange coloured eyes. Any ID possible from this shot?

Scathophaga furcata (unless arista turns out to be plumose, which it doesn't appear to be).

Hi Susan
S.furcata is on my checklist :), I've zoomed in on arista and I think it confirms your ID.
Regards Roger.
