I think this orange coloured fly is probably a scathophagid but it's not one I recognize. 10mm long from rough grass.

Thanks Andrzej. It's not a family I've come across before so that's good. Looking through other postings, could it be Tetanocera phyllophora/elata, which looks similar & doesn't have striped eyes ?
Regards
Peter

I agree with your suggestion.

Thanks Stephane. Hopefully I will recognize the family next time :)
Is it possible to edit the thread title so that it isn't so misleading ?
