Assume this is a scuttle fly (Phoridae) ?- not seen a pale coloured one before.
Taken yesterday South coast UK about 3.2mm body length

Phorid alright. Many are dark but there are numerous paler ones as well.

Thanks Paul for the confirmation and info :)
Have to admit I thought it was a gall midge or fungus gnat when i first spotted it :)
