Graphomya maculata
If there was doubt as to whether any UK Diptera are not well marked, then this common Muscid fly dispells any thoughts. Fairly large, Graphomya maculata is often found in damp areas and is a common species. This female (the male is marked differently) was found nectaring on the edge of a large pond at Warsop Main Pit Top in August 2011.
