Must be
Dicranomyia, too (genitalia would help much to suggest a species name).

Hi Black
Thanks for your reply...I didn't collect it, but released it outdoors :). I only have a couple of
Dicranomyia listed for Shetland (which means nothing), but they are
D.didyma and
D.mitis should they be recognisable from photo's.
Regards Roger

OK Roger, in
didyma wings in addition to stigma have distinct dark subcostal spots, nebulose apex, and dark patches in apical parts of veins
a1 and
a2, while in
mitis (in very similar
chorea, and
zernyi as well) subcostal spots are small and often indistinct, apex of wing is transparent, and no dark patches in apical parts of veins
a1 and
a2 (Savchenko, 1985b, p.72). So I'd vote for very widespread
mitis.

Hi Black
I've messed a bit with the images to have them on the same plane, seems to be a few variations. Maybe you can compare them better than me.
