Here's another two views. I noticed the legs weren't as dark as the previous post, I thought perhaps It was a younger animal, it was certainly smaller and the yellow of the thorax appeared brighter, especially to the naked eye.

You are correct that this one is different. Again "Sapromyza", but this time, it is Sapromyza sciomyzina Schiner. Nice pics! Notice the entirely black frons (in the other - Sapromyza occipitalis - the frons were yellow), the parafacial is silver and the face is black, the thorax is more uniformly orange, the forelegs very dark, the mid and hind femora lighter, etc. |

Hi Steve, another pic of what I imagine may be Sapromyza sciomyzina Schiner again. This time face on. Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
