Hi,please could anyone help me to id these ? I had presumed they were Sepedon spinipes..but i did a quick check and noticed that the other pics dont have the same wing patterns? Found a few days back in rural sussex uk.

thanks,Noel

Yes, Noel, Sciomyzidae.
But not Sepedon, it is Limnia and as it is female we can get a species level ID
Limnia unguicornis
