Sorry, no, it's not one of the Sigmas, it's not even a wide-angle lens. The equivalent focal length is in the short tele range (roughly 74mm in this shot).
Nice analysis, BC, including the conclusion that it doesn't have IS. It is, however, decently sharp, the blur in this shot comes from the leaf moving a little (probably induced by the lift-off of the fly) combined with a slightly too long shutter speed (1/40s, ISO was set to 100).
I also like the bokeh character. I definitely expected less.
