Thanks Theo for responding. Arista is pulmerous, but slightly, I found some image.

For a Tachinid, that is plumose !

So most likely some Dexiini, but still might be some aberrant Tachinini.

I was thinking it could be Leskiini.

Yes , that is the alternative. Hence my remark on Tachinini.
Either way, it is 'aberrant' from a Palaearctic point of view.
I am insufficient familiar with the Australian fauna to call this from picture.
With specimen, it would be probably no problem.

In Crosskey's (1973) key it runs to "undetermined genus" near Toxocnemis. Note projecting chin and frontal bristles ending in a cluster of bristles rather than forming a neat row.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
