Picture-winged fly (Callopistromyia sp.)

I thought at first I was looking at a minute jumping spider because of the way this little fly was behaving. But when I put on my glasses for a closer look at this speck, I saw it was a fly. After viewing the photo I noticed it was a Picture-winged fly, an intriguing group of flies with, in many case, beautifully patterned wings.
