 Scotland, moorland , July 2020 This is a small (wing length 2.5mm) Scathophagid (I think) with a very distinctive black peg-like spine underneath the front femora - Any ideas on the genus or species?

 I think Anthomyzidae, which have this conspicuous spine on the underside of the front femora.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
