Robber Fly (Oligopogon penicillatus)
Oligopogon penicillatus Loew, 1858. Found at Goukamma Nature Reserve, WNW of Buffelsbaai. Western Cape, South Africa.
Found in coastal forest habitat along the Buffalo Bay Trail. I saw several of these small robbers perching on branch tips of trees and shrubs at trailside. They are pretty tolerant and tend to return to the same perch.
Single exposure, slightly cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
