The bird is the tertiary consumer. I did some research, and I found a few graphs. I took the information from the graphs and determined the names of each organism in this chain.

The piece of fruit is called the primary producer

The fly is called the primary consumer

The spider is called the secondary consumer

The bird is called the tertiary consumer
