Hi Dave,

Thanks Jase!
After a little Googling Neogriphoneura sordida looks promising. Trouble is the distribution for that fly is "USA (Virginia s. to Texas and Florida), south to Paraguay". I have found it on one UK site, a photographer in Manchester, but I don't know how reliable his ID is.

Yes. It's not on NBN, either. It looks very similar to your individual, but then these orange flies often do.
Hopefully someone else can give you a closer ID than I. |
