Picture-winged Fly
Copyright © 2010 Cheryl Moorehead

Picture-winged Fly
Seattle, King County, Washington, USA
July 3, 2010
Size: approx 7mm
Found near a cherry tree on some patio furniture. Was "flipping" up the wings repeatedly and had a "point" on the abdomen. Appeared to be the same kind of fly as this one photographed a few weeks ago.
