Hum, well, now what do I say, lol! This was a cold summer, and insects can be somewhat out of season, and your record Nigel is only one day different! :o

The question is, does Cheilosia variabilis have white feet?

I have one more pic with the wings closed, but I don't suppose that will help. It was the way the wings were held which gave me the clue, but I know nothing about other Cheilosia species.
