Took this image about 2 weeks ago and have been trying to identify it.
These can be very difficult as some species have only minor differences.Thanks to John Rowe It has been identified as a Cabbage Root Fly ( Delia Radicum ).
Delia Radicum (Size 4-5mm)
( Thanks to John Rowe for ID )

Hi John Thanks for that mate, I could not find it in any of my books.

Delia isn't very pretty is she :) But your photo is beautifully detailed! I hope she wasn't after your brassicas ;)
