Thanks John nice to have a sighting of this fly that is not infected with puppeteer fungus

Is that really common?

Yes I think about 2/3 of our 38 sightings of infected flies are Helina species, while about half of the Helina sightings are of individuals infected with the fungus - but it does make them pretty easy to photo
