      Very patient fly.... it let me mess around for about 15 min and never budged a micron. The ID was actually not too hard - it's got a lot of unusual features. Long abdomen with that odd bluish tip, the dark segments on it's hind leg and very thin black crossed stripes on top of the abdomen (I have top views that you can see those in).
