Found while loitering around the grit bins at Scatsta Airport...a full time occupation ATM.
I have 2 of these on my C.List for Shetland...C.fontinalis and C.stagnalis. Is it possible to get an ID for this fly.

Get a better shot (dorsal?), or still better: some specimens. ;)

A "BETTER" Shot...WTF is wrong with this one...:D Cheeky Git.
Well I did try to catch it, not easy armed with a KLIX plastic cup :|.
Where can I get a SMALL net to catch these bloody things, plus vials for sending through the post and some 70-100% alcohol to preserve them, (preferably drinkable stuff :S to lessen the embarrassment).

Regards Roger...would be AA Member.
