Fly? (Cambridgeshire, UK) (1 Viewer)

[DoghouseRiley]

Hi All, not the most exciting thing in the world but attached are a few pics of a couple of flies I saw on some umbellifers, feeding I think.
They were on ther edge of wet woodland - Holme Fen, Cambridgeshire.

I have no idea what they, any ideas?

Thanks, Gareth

If I enter it in observation.org (which has AI for species from the Low Countries only), it identifies it as Empis tessellata, which looks right to me.

Hi Xenospiza
Thanks for the ID.
A new website to me, I'll have to check it out.
Thanks, Gareth
