Fly

Found at La Selva Biological Station, near Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Heredia Province, Costa Rica.

 

Thinking Stratiomyidae. ID help appreciated.

 

I saw this individual on several consecutive days in the same spot. It was percing on low vegetation or fallen twigs at the base of a large tree at trailside. It was jockeying for position on the perches with a second species of Stratiomyidae.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
