Taken at 18:40 today, Friday; with a wind gusting here in the valley at 35mph, and a very very low cloud layer.
If ever a fly deserved to make it into today's Friday Flyday it is this one.
So, I'm going remove one I posted earlier to make some space for this one.
I'd just gone out to put some rubbish in the bin.

Rui says a female Calliphora vicina
I think this is possibly Coenosia tigrina - a predator that doesnt really look like a predator.

FlyDay 19th September is International Talk Like a Pirate Day (a "parodic" holiday thought up in 1995)

a muscid fly in the polytunnel.
This one had a rather attractive abdomen I thought (is that just me?!). Maybe a more bristly one would have been more pirate-like.

Hope everyone has a very Happy Good Flyday Friday! HGFDF!
A few more images and things here if anyone is interested;
Not really sure if this is actually a flesh fly (Sarcophagidae) - Flies are so hard to work out especially when I use a googleSnap approach matching pictures rather than working through a proper key like I would try to do for a plant.
Anyway I thought it looked worth posting.
