At least I think it's a Muscidae. (EDIT: But thanks to Kahis I now know it's a Lonchaeidae!) Can it be ID'd any further? I know the pics are bad! :)

Thank you!

Lars - I am interested to know what this specimen was feeding on - was it a bird dropping ?? ...... Iain

Iain, I thik it was some kind of bird dropping. There is a lot of birds in that area.

Her's a photo showing a bit more of it.
