Which Sony (or 3rd Party) Flash to Buy for Macro Work?

Hi Everyone:

I am just wondering which flash you would recommend for a Sony a7R III for doing macro work, basically mostly shooting insects such as bees and wasps, but also some flowers with the 90mm f2.8? I would imagine that it would need half decent recycle time, but I am not sure what other qualities are important for macro shots.

I am also researching how to take my macro images to the next level by eliminating specular highlights which I would assume involves using some kind of diffusing screen in front of the flash. Perhaps it would be too optimistic for me to hope there might be some dedicated screen for the flash you recommend? But please recommend either way.

Thanks!

-Charles
