Looks like a Yellow Dung Fly (Scathophaga stercoraria), I think :t:

Definitely not a Dung Fly - the body is actually green but has picked up the yellow of the marigold.

Such great detail you've captured in this fly Brian... sorry I can't help, but I'm sure they would be able to in the [COLOR="Blue"]Insects Forum[/COLOR] if you posted there as well.

A super picture you've got of him lad - well done.
