| | | Camouflaged fly for identification
Stony Stratford, Bucks.
I don't generally associate flies with camouflage however this individual was very well matched to the background fence rail. Unsure sure if intentional or not?
Help with identification appreciated as always:

Sorry should have asked before....
Is this a male (narrow gap between the eyes)?
