I've checked Stubbs (just as well I did!) and your fly is not
N uliginosus, but the very similar
N notatus. It is
N notatus that has the distinctly triangular shape of the white patches on the face and a less projecting snout.
N ulginosus has a more projecting snout and parallel bars on the face. You can clearly see the difference if you look at the link Erik provided, which is
N uliginosus.
Sorry my memory jumbled the characters earlier.
