DSCF6519 Bee or Fly?

I noticed this creature on my desk before we had to dash out shopping. It didn't fly off and I wondered if it would still be there when we got home. A couple of hours later it had migrated to under the fluorescent desk lamp, perhaps seeking warmth. After I took a few pictures of it under the lamp it walked over to the tv remote and had one front leg on the remote. Unfortunately, I didn't catch that one, but I did get this. Pretty, isn't it?
