Not sure why but this fly (think it's Geomyzia tripunctata) came out looking like a parrot - spotted when i was doing some dewdrop refraction shots. Taken around 3:1 FF and focus stacked.

Nice psittacine fly!

Thanks RT - have to admit looking up that to make sure it wasn't a real fly family

Love the angle and the light Brian

Was ofcourse referring to parrot/parakeet family!

Very nice, great detail and background.

Thanks for the comments again - appreciated

Is that really some sort of "beak" or does it have to do with the angle it was taken?

Love the background, nice colours.

Thanks Matt,
No it must be the angle I took it at- it was facing slightly away from me. Think it's the same species below. So guessing it was holding it's proboscis slightly forward at the time
