another new fly (for me) from tottenham cemetery today. I'm not sure when this season is supposed to end, but that's four in the last week!
I have no idea about this one, it looks quite distinctive. No sign of any others like it. It would be nice to know the family, and whether there's a key. I collected this one

thanks Roger. So it's larvae feed on Turkeytail? That might explain it's lateness
