I found this fly near mnt Kelimutu this June at c.800m asl.
Can anyone inform me what species or family this fly is?
I found another one at sealevel at the North coast so I presume it is common.

Thanks in advance.

I agree. And I would say it is a Hemipenthes sp.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
