Punk Rocker Fly - ID required please :o)

I posted this in the Nature section but was told to post it here, as I would get more chance of an ID. Would anyone happen to know what this little beauty is called? Shot in the east coast of Scotland, UK. He/she was around 4mm body length.

Nice title.

Nothing exotic I'm afraid. Just a male mossie.

hopefully not carrying Blue Tongue virus! Come to think of it only females bite anyway.

I love that you called him a punk rocker fly! how perfect

I dig his lil mohawk! LOL

Great Title

What a terric bug!! We don't have mossies like that here thank goodness!!

thanks folks, and thanks for the ID

I can say that this is the first mosquito I have seen in Scotland

Nice shot Neil

Very Cool. Nice shot.

We have a similar insect here in Tennessee.
Looks the same, just a different color.

I'm pretty sure that's not a mozzie, but a male midge in fact. Good shot.
