Photographed in my greenhouse this morning...unfortunately looking into the sun. Is it C.uralensis with smaller red beard than C.vomitoria ?

No, I think this is vicina - note the pale basicosta. The pale hairs are on the occiput (back of the head) - they don't count as beard. The pale front spiracle is also typical of vicina, but beware of the odd female uralensis which may have a pale spiracle too. I think you had a piciture of uralensis before (see http://www.dipter...d_id=15828) - note the dark basicosta in that specimen.

Thanks Tony..for telling me I don't even know C.vicina when I see it  . I need to buy Bluebottles for Dummies before posting any more I think.Theo...what can I say...COOKING POTATOES. Even I couldn't have dreamt up THAT one  . Got to be worth 10/10 for invention though .Regards Roger(Doesn't know arse from elbow)Thomason That's enough self-deprecation for one day.
