Flies

Torlesse at 3.33pm

 The mountains were elusive today, mostly covered with fluffy clouds.  This was my best shot, through a haze.


Warm sunshine this afternoon brought out a variety of flies.  Here are just a few.  I don't know all their names and would be happy to have them identified.

A fly, but what sort with an orange scutellum? Perhaps a metallic blue hover fly.

All photos taken today.
