Hi, This fly I saw on the 24th August, it was a fast mover and rarely landed, it moved from flower to flower in jerks making a high pitched buzz. It was feeding on Veronica. The wings have reddish veins, with the sun glowing on them they appeared red all over. I haven't found anything like it, any clues? Lincoln UK. This shot was a rare moment of rest. Thanks!

This shows the red-flushed wings in the sun.
