The fly in the video and the fly in the photo's aren't the same flies..just saying!! Wings marked differently for starters...heads don't match, hind femur marked differently...(I need to get a life, or go to bed I think) awkward

The posted pictures were taken on the same plant 1 min 32 sec (video time code) before the video clip started.

Can't make it out I'm afraid......features are blurry when I zoom in.I I ain't good enough yet. The seasoned eye of a Pete Chandler would get it. Oxycera might too....
