Can anyone suggest a name for this pretty fly? Photographed 12 December 2009, on the breakfast table on the veranda of a house in Canberra. About 5mm. Sorry the photos are so poor.

Probably Austrosciapus. No idea which species!

Thanks Tony. Austrosciapus? will be good enough, and more than I hoped for.

There are several genera of Sciapodinae with banded wings, but 3-banded wings is characteristic for Heteropsilopus , and the photo is practically identical to a picture of wing by Bickel (1994) for Heteropsilopus ingenuus (Erichson, 1842), mass species in Australia. So, it is Heteropsilopus, female.
