One from last year[June] Male and possibly female of the same species, only half a metre apart in the grass.
Listed on my checklist for Shetland are 4 species [fwiw]. Not sure if the names are up-to-date.

Rhamphomyia morio Zett.
Rhamphomyia simplex Zett.
Rhamphomyia stigmosa Macq.
Rhamphomyia erythrophthalma Mg.

The male (at least) looks like Rhaphomyia stigmosa.

Thanks for that Paul, first time I've seen that here. And what does the female look like? ;) [answer on a postcard to;- ]
