Any time I'm out with a macro lens, I keep an eye out for small insects.  While trying my Olympus 50/2.0 Macro on the Oly E-M1 body for the first time, I spotted this guy.  I have often confused these with sweat bees, but, with a single pair of wings and no stinger, it has been pointed out to me by my insect and butterfly guru, Dean Hansen, that it is actually a fly.  It is more colorful than most sweat bees.

I searched for the identity of the flower, but there are just too many of this sort for me to come up with a proper identity.
