I photographed this in Derbyshire yesterday, but have no idea what it might be.

Thanks Brian. The images in the guide books I have are pants for Bibio.

Hello,
And what about the rather reddish legs and the rather dark pterostigma?

Difficult to tell, photo is not quite sharp.
Reddish tibiae are common in Bibio, and I think the stigma is not as dark as suggested. Given the light hairs on thorax and abdomen, this should be B. lanigerus.
