Am I right in thinking this is a male Phaonia pallida? I realise that most of the features needed to separate it from Thricops diaphanus are not clearly visible, but I'm hoping that the fact that you can see obvious presutural acrostichal bristles is enough to confirm it as Phaonia pallida. This individual was found in the margin of a commercial strawberry field in Kent, UK on 23/06/2021.

Hi Dylan, male P. pallida is correct - the diverging veins r4+5 and m shown by the 3rd image are one clear difference to Thricops, too.
