Think it may be Liancalus virens. Was it found on rocks near running water? |

Thanks Action_Man - From Googling, some of the images I found do look very much like "my" fly.
Thanks oxycera - The pic was taken about 100yds from Great Ouse on concrete bridge.

I think Action Man is right, have a browse through this Gallery: Diptera.info |
