Dicranota lucidipennis new to Fife from Cullaloe LNR

A female hanging on grass over fast moving water channel. This is a pretty widespread species but not apparently recorded in Fife before. I got hung up on a misunderstanding of the keys so ID was provided by Geoff Foale via Dipterists Forum (after that it was, of course, obvious!).

It's only the third species of Pediciidae for the county.
