Hi
I was hoping someone could identify the following fly. It was taken in Swifts Creek, Victoria, Australia in November 2007. Specimen is approx 18mm in size

Have you got any other angles? Looks like family Tachinidae but I can't go any further - not familiar at all with your fauna.

Magnificent fly but I can't really say for sure whether it is a tachinid or not - I just think it might be. Would be good to see it from the rear a little to look for a subscutellum but that's probably too much to ask ;)
