As it happens, even at calm and warm days, there are those few seconds where a breeze shakes the leaves a bit - somehow disproportionately exactly at those moments when the object of interest is just about to be photographed...
However, I hope with these minor-quality shots an ID is still possible. The wing spot was much more conspicuous in the field.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.
