Garden fly

There's a huge blossoming plum tree right next to our beehive, but our bees are pretty much ignoring it. (Maybe something to do with bees defecating near their hive, and so they're eager to get the pollen and nectar from sources a bit further away). Instead it's been up to the garden flies to pollinate it.

Bees are more photogenic, but I had to work with what I had.

At least this fly had a bit of a golden sheen, but I didn't establish where it defecates.
