Didn't have a lot of time to shoot today, so I went to an insect that's rather abundant around here, but apparently non-existent on the internet. Can't find an image of a similar fly to help classify it. About the size of a regular house fly, but with black wings that stick out to the side and a weird elephant snout. :o Here's a better profile shot to reference: [link]
*EDIT* Classified it! Delphinia picta.

Please tell me what you think! :dance:
