One pic only but I have cropped both ends so posting three. Taken on 15th May 2009, looks a lot like Botanophila fugax to me but I don't know anything really! Females can be difficult I hear.  Janet

Looks like Lasiomma strigilatum. If you think you can see minute hairs on eyes and 4 sternopleural (Katepisternal) setae then thats what it is. |

Yes, I certainly would say there's minute hairs on the eyes, and I can see 4 setae on the Katepisternal although I'm not sure there isn't a couple of small ones near the bottom? Or is that small triangular part right at the bottom not part of the Katepisternal? |

I cropped the pic to it's maximum, there are small black hairs visible on the bottom right of the eye at least, and maybe some fuzzy stuff elsewhere.
