Can this Lonchoptera sp. be identified to species from these photos? L. bifurcata seems like a reasonable possibility, but I don't know whether that can be confirmed from these photos. This individual was attracted to a sugar solution sprayed on foliage in my garden in West Sussex, UK on 22/11/2021. Any help with the ID would be much appreciated!

Many thanks,
Dylan

Hi Dylan, to call it bifurcata, it would be necessary to see more details of legs and head:
