 I have two specimens swept from damp sand in a sand quarry and both key to Spilogona scutulata female. But one is dusted yellow-grey, the other one "grey-grey". Can anyone say whether either of these looks anything like S. scutulata, which is a scarce fly in the UK?

First photo - the yellow grey specimen:

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
