 Dear All,

Is this a parasite fly? The photo is not of the best quality, but perhaps someone still can identify the fly?

greetings,
Shar

 Thanks. Large branch is R4+5 fork, not R4+5 - R2+3 fork as I thought. Correct?

 The fly is unfortunate because it has been killed by an Entomophthora fungus.
The visible fork is the small R4+5, quite close to the wing tip, the fork between the larger veins is much more basal.

 Very interesting, I did not even know that the fly was dead.
