Hi, this from N London in late July, habitat woodland pasture. Perhaps Oxyna sp?

Any help much appreciated
Cheers

Hi Tristan,

Nope, much better!
Merzomyia westermanni, quite rare, I belive in the UK as well!

Many thanks John - very disctinctive fly. In Essex it is scarce and mainly confined to the south, which is where I found it (Epping area)
