Is a family possible for this fly please?
Light trap, Townsville, Australia.

Hey Graeme,
Hope you're not getting your feet to wet considering all the water that is coming down in Queensland! :o
The fly is a Ceratopogonid, so family Ceratopogonidae.
Greetings

Thanks for your concern. No the floods are quite a way south from Townsville.
Thanks for the ID.
Cheers, Graeme

Ceratopogoninae, likely Sphaeromiini.
