I assume this must be a Neomyia cornicina female, with the pair of presutural acrostichals, but it appears to have an extra postsutural dorsocentral on one side.

South Essex, England, 11 September 2015
Scrub adjoining grazing marsh.

And a closer view of the thorax.

This happens sometimes, even on both sides.

Thanks, Stephane. I thought that was probably the case but it's good to have it confirmed.

Best wishes,
