great shot, shame there wasnt a little more dof to get all the fly in. a slightly tighter crop would work for me as well, getting rid of some of the background.

Nice shot, I think it's a Green Bottle Fly but I'm no expert.

I think it was about 10mm in length. I need to pay more attention next time:)

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Alistair.
