Can anyone help with this fly? I thought it was a Morellia but the setae on the scutellum look wrong and it has 2 pairs of prescutellar acrostichals. It's also very dark. There are 3 Morellias in the UK - aenescens, hortorum and simplex so if it's a Morellia, it has to be one of those. Seen on 15/08/2023 in Angus, Scotland. I have more photos, some from different angles, if necessary.
