Taken on Manbulloo Station, near Katherine in the Northern Territory, Australia (ie tropical) in April. About 5mm.

Looks structurally somewhat similar to
Rhiniinae of Calliphoridae, but this is just a guess.

Thanks - the way it is holding its proboscis is like your Rhiniiae, certainly. It is interesting that this one has this rather odd completely dusted look, whilst your pics all show metallic flies, more what you would expect from Calliphoridae. The family makes sense though, when you consider that Manbulloo is a cattle station, and there is obviously a population of feral horses, all producing the raw material that Calliphorids favour.

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
