 Thanks, Paul.
I had a go at trying to identify it using the key in Pitkin's thesis.
https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk/bitstream/10044/1/38136/2/Pitkin-BR-1986-PhD-Thesis.pdf

I get to Leptocera but I struggle to get to species as I think I am misinterpreting the tibial spines.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
