[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had found this at Omkar Hills forest. I am not sure what type of a fly this is. I would not like to go near this one as it looks dangerous ! If we observe this carefully this fly hovers and at times stands still in air and then anchors vertically down to the perch. Appreciate if anyone can get the name for this insect. I took a quick handheld shot with my Ricoh compact. with best regards.vab.

Hello Amar,
Nice shot of the fly. It looks all ruffled up. We have also seen it here in Kodanad.But so far have not been able to take a decent picture and also identify it.:) This is a good shot especially since you have managed it with camera handheld. Good composition too.
Regards,
Smitha.
