This looks rather like
Noeetomima (Lauxaniidae)

Thanks Dimitry. I had previously missed this as the automatic tracking email wasn't working at the time.

Sorry boys. It is certainly a
tephritid,
Rochmopterum venustum de Meijere. It has been recorded from Queensland. Take a look at the a) pointed antennae; b ) costal cleft (the diagnostic character of the tribe Schistopterini). It is really tiny, more tiny than any Noeetomima (see Kim's book for Australian Noeetomima)

Thanks Valery. And I'd already submitted it to the gallery too. If you are listening Paul, delete my gallery submission.
Cheers, Graeme
