Muscid fly

[Bilbo_baggin]

This is one of the muscids, a tiger fly I think (Coenosia tigrina) that I spotted originally on the variegated laurel, but then it buggered off as I got in close with the camera, but I found it on a leaf on the apple tree, and this time I wasn't to be denied...

hehe, good one Paul. The muscids are quite curious and will often come back

It didn't stay much longer... Breeze sent him packing a minute or two later.

Indeed Cliff. It's a dung fly actually - not that I can easily distinguish a lot of flies really from each other!
