Chaps,
Anyone can help to identify this fly? Family or sub family should be good enough for me, but obviously genus is better.

It was taken at Mt. Kelimutu in Flores Indonesia on 9th June 2011, morning around 10am
This fly was found at around 1,000 m above sea level.

It looks like a bright yellow fly when it flies and always hides underside of the leaf, it seems to avoid strong sun light?, when it rests.

Cheers,
F.Widjaja

Perhaps Lauxaniidae

I'd favour Stratiomyidae
