Just one cornetto? Please identify.
Please help! I need to accurately identify this fella before the photo can be reproduced. I can't seem to find a diptera reference matching his brown colour/close eye spacing/long 'nose' description. I would be very grateful for your opinion. Thank you.

Well, thank you both - Paul and Andy. That's brilliant! I am surprised. From where I was standing it just didn't look like a hoverfly.
