Thanks for the lead Andre, I had a quick search for C. ranunculi and it seems fairly rare, but I do have rare! It also likes water, I have water! Haven't found any pics though. It definitely has white feet! The front legs I see on C. albitarsis have a white area above the tarsi, not visible at all on mine, and as you say, not the correct time. Good to eliminate! If there are no others with white feet, I can call it C. ranunculi?

If I had a good macro lens I may have got better pics, but then I might not have. It was a quite small fly, and it took off and landed agian briefly so I managed to get two quick pics each time. There are advantages of a minimum shooting distance of 1.1 metres! :D
