Thanks, Martin. Those dance flies are extremely difficult to approach and are quite jumpy. Incidentally, I edited my post and added a couple more flies which I had forgotten to include. Thanks so much for your comments.

Thank you, everyone.
Andres, yes that picture wing fly is quite exciting to shoot as it is not too common and very skittish; this one managed to sit a little while and we took full advantage of that fact.

agree Picture wing is cool. I haven't seen a hoverfly that shape in the UK, nice capture too.

Many thanks Colin, Linda and Toby. The picture wing flies are quite elusive but worth the frustration.
