11th nov, tottenham. A tachinid perhaps, the vein seems to turn up 'and' extend to the wing edge. Otherwise presumably a sarcophagid. It seems to have a reddish scutellum. 8 images available in all
Actually how about Sturmia bella?

The female
Aplomya confinis fits better :)

I agree -
Sturmia wouldn't have hairy eyes but would have a bristle-comb on its hind tarsi too :)
Aplomya is a nice find - it is a parasitoid of Blue butterflies.

Is it rare in UK?

I seem to find it quite often in good habitats but they are not exactly 'common' :)
