Thanks, I would never have got that. If it is not too much trouble, what features are important?

No trouble:
5.3-8.2 mm
Dark, but yellow: antennal base, often postpronotal calli and abdomen (variable), legs except tarsi
2-3 strong pre acr, 3 post dc, calypters & halteres pale
female: frontal vitta with crossed interfrontals
probably Palaearctic June - October
based on: Gregor et al (2016): Manual CE Muscidae

I rather agree with eklans's idea.

Many thanks to you both. Is Gregor's work available anywhere as a pdf?
