A dead fly on a pin. It is long with a golden hue and orange legs. Its face has a ling beard of long golden hairs, and there is also a similar beard curving up the sides of the abdomen from the genitalia.

He's got it all covered: this #fly has a beard on both his face AND naughty bits. I bet he combs them every chance he gets. So luscious, so stylish 🧔

Some flies are a bit more stylish than others and I think this one's pretty nifty. Should be Cordilura albipes if I'm not mistaken. About 5 mm.
Photographed 24.6.
