I thought it was a house fly until I looked closely. Could it be a queen ant?
Rural Norfolk.
When I took this I was just playing around with the camera and thought I was taking a common housefly, but when I looked at the photo I realised it was not a housefly. It looks to me like a queen ant, but I may be wrong. I really do need to learn more about arthropods!
Thanks Eric and Green Reclamation for your thoughts. I think you may be right about it being a Rhopalum coarctatum. It fits the description and the habitat.
