Small Orange Red fly

Would like to have had my macro lens with me. Yesterday I set out with the intention of capturing water fowl. I have not shot them for a while, so I only brought my telephoto zoom and not even a tripod.

 

Well I didn't get much as far as water fowl was concerned, but I did notice this orange red fly pondside. No idea as to what type of fly it is, and it doesn't really matter. This is a hefty crop with barely any reduction, so detail is only so so. It did not stick around long, only enough for two shots, so who knows, with a macro lens I would have moved in closer and possibly would have got no shots. For now, I am quite happy with it as I have never seen anything like it before.
