This is my first attempt to use the "new" site. I used it years back and found the members very helpful to an old duffer like me.

I think it is a Cranefly. Which one of the three hundred in Britain it is I'm not sure. It could be one of the Nephrotoma.

Agree with Harold. Welcome by the way rscott74. Most of us here are still the old group and just as friendly and helpful.

Thanks for the tips. When I took the picture I thought ID would be easy given the red rear.

I've just Googled "nephrotoma" and can see a lot of similar specimens with common characteristics. Body shape and distinctly coloured rear being noticeable. Harold's observation appears to be accurate in my inexpert view.
