Thanks Janet - I've looked and gone on a trawl following links (thanks for the Diptera - I've put that in faves so I can use that again) but I can see two shapes on the side of my specs thorax that isn't on any of the pics - another species had the two 'bits' but bright orange leg segments .......... phew - need a lie down now - head spinning! Bruce Williams also has a pic in here of albiceps which I will post here if I can refind it .......



Will try this - not sure if pic is the one I want till I post ......

Ta muchly for sending me off in the right direction Janet!
