    Hmm, that's a difficult one. The body shape and wings resemble a snipe fly (Rhagionidae), but antennae are definitely not-snipe fly, more like a Muscidae representative. Better look at the wing vein pattern could tell more...

    I have never seen anything similar but they are excellent shots. The eyes suggest it is a male.

    It has a lovely body (first shot) and mighty long legs.
    Too bad you didn't get the whole body and wings in on that first one.

    It's quite happy to sit there for you thumb.gif .... Skippy :D
