I think this looks like Melanastoma but not sure, its wings and rear end look wrong!

Evening Seren,
I think it may be a Long-legged Fly from the Dolichopodidae family - though I can't recall one with those yellow markings! They remind me of Melanostoma spp., yet the long narrow-ish body, dark abdominal colouration, wing shape/venation and greenish scutellum look like an LLF.
Any other images of it, habitat info, etc.?
Take care, Jason
