Hi Ram,
i wish i could help with ID but i'm afraid my knowledge in such areas is limited to non existant! However, i do think it is a very bold and well seen composition with a very good DOF - very well done.

Hello Ram,

Very nice sharp picture of this fly. I do not think it is a syrphid fly. To get the ID, the best would be to post your picture on this site www.diptera.info, I am sure there will be someone who knows it. Excellent composition, very good light and colours.
Cheers,
Mariki

PS: the best guess for me is that it is a soldier fly, perhaps Odontomyia sp.

Albion? I wonder if all species have a rare albino counterpart? Interesting question you bring up. Every so often I hear of an albino this or that and once in a while it is a new one to me, mostly in the mammals however but I am sure in the insect world as well...an anomaly? Well whatever it is, it is identifiable. Now all we need is an eggs-pert.

Hi Ram,

A top-notch macro of this fly looking so comfortable on the leaf. He picked the perfect place to show himself off. Wonderful color combinations - isn't off-white unusual for a fly? Excellent details with the eyes really standing out. The background is perfect.

Hi Ram,
That's a very stange insect. But to those that know a lot about insects, like you probably not. The head looks like a regular fly, but the boddy is so different.
You captured this insect in a very artistic way. The single leave positioned diagonally makes the photo very beautiful.

Hi Ram,
Outstanding shot of this tiny fly and it looks so different and rare. Very impressive sharpness, colours and details and I like this artistic presentation. Great handling of lighting and exposure with a precise DOF and a well chosen POV. Very pleasing composition too. Kudos.

Hello sir,
Interesting capture indeed. Its colours in one way compliment the colour of the leaf.The shot if dine, crisp, and with great clarity and sharpness.

For a 1cm subject this one is really clear and big.I like the way you have composed with the leaf in the middle in a diagonal position.The muted Bg helps to focus entirely on the subject and its perch.

TFS & Cheers
