Looks like a female
Norellisoma spinimanum ? a close up of antenna would clinch it.
If so - often found on or near Dock leaves

Is this clear enonough Mark?
I cannot remember seeing much dock but I see this fly (or v similar) quite fairly often - this is the first reasonable picture I have taken.
Thanks

or this? I do not know which feature of the antennae is relevant.
