Doli in my pond....

Hi

I usually focus on hoverflies, but couldn't help but notice this fly on the leaves in my garden pond yesterday 8/6/2020. I think it's a Doli, but could anyone confirm?

For the recorders, my postcode is M33 4AN

Cheers

Yes, it is Dolichopus, and could well be ungulatus (yellow femora, lower postocular cilia black, middle tibia with two or more bristles beneath, more than 2 preapicals on hind femora)
