A handsome "swift feather legged fly" (Trichopoda pennipes). See his elegant fringes?

Dipterists definitely missed a good naming opportunity here. He should have been a "Fast Feather Footed Fly."

A handsome, slim, long-legged brown fly with an orange abdomen stands on a leaf. We see him from the side. His head has large brown compound eyes. His dark wings are swept back. Most notably, his back legs have fringes like rows of tiny feathers.

@catselbow I suppose they could also have taken the stealthy Iceland-Greenland route and gone with Poky plume-pedaled parasite?
