I actually think I might know this one, it's a bit disguised by the pollen but I wonder if it's
Chrysogaster solstitalis?

Be nice if it were true...would be a first for Shetland :).
Anyone confirm?

In that case I suspect I'm being overambitious - second opinion definitely needed.

Antennae are black, so it is Melanogaster

Thanks Guys(?)
Seems like I've found a partner for the one I posted earlier...thought it might be, but wasn't sure. I'll go with
M.hirtella for this one and my previous post.
