Please can anyone help with a positive ID of the fly here?
I believe it is Rhagionidae but I'm a beginner!

Taken 28/6/16 in a hedgerow at the bottom of my garden on the western borders of Essex, UK.

Many thanks Paul. That's what I had come to in looking at nature spot and ukgardensafari.
Thanks again
