Cannot paste screenshots into a Message using context menu since Big Sur upgrade

Since upgrading to Big Sur, whenever I use the Screenshot utility to create a screenshot (I have Capture set to Clipboard) the context menu ‘Paste’ option is grayed out when I’m trying to paste into a Message. Cmd-V works just fine. Strangely the context menu ‘Paste’ option is not grayed out if I try to paste the same screenshot into, say, a Pages document.

Text/hyperlinks all paste with no problem.

Grateful for any insight/advice with this problem

Thanks.
