a very strange looking fly.thought it was a tachinid at first,but it turns out to be,a
myopa fly genus conopidae.( thick-headed fly family ) very timid and it took a a few hours to finally get a few keeper shots.
back shot

showing off!

a better look at the beast

I believe I have heard these called Abraham Lincoln flies; because of the large chin.

Great shots, Denis.
