Found at Burn of Valayre a couple of days ago. Looks like a Rhaphium, the only one recorded previously here is Rhaphium brevicorne [Curtis]. Any possibility of knowing if this is it from a photograph, or does it need its genitalia inspected? :S

Rhaphium brevicorne: Postpedicel 4‒5 times longer than high at base; stylus more than half length of postpedicel, sometimes as long as postpedicel.
It need its genitalia inspected.

Dear Igor, on the pictures above the arista (stylus) seems to be distinctly shorter than half of the first flagellomere (postpedicel).
