Is this Fannia lustrator? Seen in my garden in West Sussex, UK on 02/05/2021.

Many thanks,
Dylan

F. lustrator has legs partly yellow. I thinkit is manicata/monilis

Brilliant, thanks for that Nikita.

By the way, I recently finished your book Diptera: An Introduction to Flies, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so thanks for that too!
