 I believe this is Tachinidae. Can anyone suggest a subfamily or genus? Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland.

 A Carcelia or more likely Senometopia. The latter from QLD are hopeless....

 Thanks Theo. I'm finding the faces very helpful in sorting out species from each other. I have two screens on my computer. I open this one on the right hand screen and run a slide show of all possible faces on the left screen. All I need now is some face recogntion software. Smile

 Yes, If you have seen many Tachinidae, you can do a lot with jizz of faces ! Be sure, though, not to be misled be trivial matters as sexual dimorphism.
So compare males with males only, whenever possible.

 Ah, there's a problem. I haven't worked out how to tell a male from a female. Can you help?

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
