Not sure what this fly is, maybe Scathophagidae? By a pond in Leicestershire, UK on 23 May. Can anyone help with an ID please? Barbara Barbara Cooper attached the following image: [113.34Kb] Edited by Barbara Cooper on 24-05-2017 11:44 |

The all black antennae and greenish colour indicate Scathophaga stercoraria.
