Chloromyia formosa
I found this fly resting on a nettle leaf towards the end of my hunt around the patch. The wing venation looked quite different to many diptera I've seen since starting up 6 weeks ago so I decided to photograph and catch it. It turned out to be one of the Soldier flies in the Stratiomyidae group and as far as I can tell Chloromyia formosa. There is a confusion species Chloromyia speciosa which can be told apart by the colour of the tarsus.
