This small satellite fly was found at Longannet, Fife, Scotland, on 23 May 2016. It was one of several similar flies, all attending a nesting aggregation of Halictus rubicundus. It may or may not be possible to ID from these photos (I suspect not). I do have a specimen but don't know if a key even exists or if it would be beyond my competence. Thanks for any help.
