Hi Chris :) - another Siphona. I've had a go at keying it and think it is S geniculata again, but the head has been scratched to get there.

5mm, from 3 September 2006, east London cemetery park.

Front femur wider than 3rd antennal segment. 4 psdc (I think - they really are not that easy to spot), 2 dc on margin of tergite 2, tegula appears darker than basicosta again though. Ground colour is an unappealing dirty grey beige. Hairlets under frontal bristles to about halfway down cheek (perhaps slightly less than halfway).
