Took these in the garden this afternoon, different angles produced different backgrounds

The subject matter here is the background and not the fly :) Amazing colors you have there ;)

Very nice. Love seeing different backgrounds/bokeh :)

fun backgrounds but where's the Bluebottle?

[MacroStu]

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

To be honest i wasn't 100% sure, what do you think it is?

[racketman]

might be one of the muscidae but you'd need to ask at diptera.info to be sure. Definitely not of the Calliphoridae family (Blow flies) though.

LOvely series- great BGs. Think it's a muscid fly Coenosia species not a bluebottle.
