In flight!
10th October, 4 pairs of white spots.
Surely this can't be P. albimanus, the shape of the spots and abdomen shape look like Platycheirus discimanus to me.
1 pic only with a closer crop..

Thanks Andre, the key I looked at stated that P.albimanus has 3 pairs of spots. That isn't the case? This has an extra pair near the tail end.
