 You have not hand-painted this fly, have you?

Can't understand who is it. At least, not Sciomyzidae...

this picture was NOT photoshoped at all, and took it not at Loch Ness but in Poland, Central Europe, little lake near Warsaw. This was so called "security shot" from a distance before I started to aaproach the fly closer, but, as it happens, it escaped imediately, and I never saw it again.....

You should always catch the first specimen you see and only then should you photograph any others you see.

What about Hydromyza livens (Fabricius, 1794) - Scathophagidae |

Agreed - I kept thinking Scathophagidae, but couldn't remember which one would fit!

Could be that males of this specias are more painted than females. There is a recent article about odd behaviors of Hydromyza livens males on waterlilly leaves by Ken Preston-Mafham but full version of this articles cots 50 EURO (rubbery!) |

I think you might mean 'robbery' or were you planning to buy it with a bouncing cheque? (Just teasing you )
