Truly - Anthomyiids are very difficult. Many of the females have not been described and many of the males require dissection to ID to species level. Michael Ackland has created a draft key for the British species, which is available from him directly. However, if you are not used to using keys and don't have much experience with diptera in general, this particular key would be extremely daunting. Although I will make great use of it, it is very dense and needs perserverance and motivation to work through, and to do it from a photograph without a specimen would be impossible to species level.
