I think all the evidence points to this being Conops quadrifasciatus, but I know nothing about Conopids, so would like some reassurance. Also, is it female? Photo taken today in an east London cemetery park, fly about 12mm head to tail.

I'd say he was a Conops quadrifasciatus. The females have much more pronounced genitalia (unlike most other flies - it can all get very confusing!  )
