Hi All
This is the second fly (with a damaged wing) I found at this reserve.
Could someone please ID for me?
Yours, Gareth

Scathophaga?

Thanks John. The assumption is that we cannot identify the species from just images?

Check Stuart Ball's key to British Scathophagidae. There are at least two species that might have yellow legs.
