Seen in my garden today, checking my books and online photos, this looks to me like one of these two but I could be wrong

Any help appreciated

Hi. I'm no fly expert by any means! But out of the two you've mentioned, it looks like Anthomyia Fluvialis, due to the differences of the dark markings on the thorax.

You wouldn't have an additional photo of the fly taken from the side ?

This is the only other one I have but unfortunately the side view of the second fly is out of focus
