Peacock fly

mehampson

<br>This peacock fly (<i>Callopistromyia annulipes</i>?) was skittering back and forth on a post.  I don't know much about flies, but with the wings held upright like that I'd guess it was some sort of display, a courtship dance maybe.  Only problem is that what it seemed to be displaying to was a dried bird dropping, so I'm really not sure what I was watching...<br>

Good capture- yes it would have been displaying to attract a mate.
