Cheilosia pagana

Cheilosia pagana (Meigen, 1822)
Widespread over most of the UK, Cheilosia pagana is one of the more indistinctly marked Cheilosias. Found in a variety of habitats within Nottinghamshire, Cheilosia pagana is presumed to be more common than records presently suggest. The ones in the lower two photographs illustrated, were photographed at Dyscarr Wood in September 2015 and July 2016 by Pauline Bradford.
