any suggestions on this fly from tottenham cemetery? This is the only reasonable shot I managed so I realise a firm id is probably not possible

Almost certainly Leopoldius brevirostris female. Very nice find - can I have the record please? |

Hi Jeremy, This is the one you need to catch, brevirostris is seen far less often  Steve |

following a recent query I'm adding this image - it shows the black area midway on the femora as on signatus, though on brevirostros it's often slighter as can be seen on the middle femur here. On coronatus the leg is clean yellow I believe but for black only at the basal end. I think this is correct though I still can't explain the extra yellow/orange on the head On brevirostris females the abdomen on dorsal view typically contracts sharply after tergite 5 Jeremy jeremyr attached the following image:  [43.77Kb] |

Hi Jeremy, I agree with your comments, the yellow frons will have to remain a mystery until you catch a similar one this Summer Steve |
