This was found among estuarine vegetation at Finlaystone Point, Renfrewshire, on October 10th 2012. Am I right in thinking this is a Bibionid? And if so, can it be taken to species (despite the rather grim pic?)

Bibio. Based on earlier comments here, European fall-flying
Bibio with swollen hind tarsi (in males) should be
clavipes or
lepidus.

thanks again, John
the key is useful and indicates this could be lepidus
