7.5mm, late July on the intertidal zone, Northumberland NE England. The nearest I could find was
Ceratinostoma ostiorum . Am I close?

Hi Stephen
Looks like an Anthomyiidae I had a while back;
Fucellia fucorum. Might be wrong again though.
Roger
There is another in the Gallery
F tergina
Edit: There is also
F.maritima..don't know what that looks like..:| Maybe Stephane will know, he is into beach flies.

Yes, I see what you mean.

Fucellia is right. The legs are not wholly black, so either
F. tergina or
F. maritima.
