This is my first posting on this forum. I like to photograph small things, but never know what they are called. This specimen was on a young Eucalyptus tree in South Eastern Australia. Photographed in January 2011.
And you would be able to see it if I was able to upload it. It is a .jpg of 127 Kb, but still cannot upload it.

Has the filename got any spaces or strange characters in it? Try changing it so it only contains letters.

Already done that.

Behold! The photo appears overnight. Would love an ID if anyone is able. Thank you.

Looks like Ulidiidae, but I am not too familiar with Australian Platystomatidae to know for certain they might not look similar.

Rivellia sp. (Platystomatidae) I believe. The M vein curved downwards into the the discal cell before r-m is typical. Plus the rather thin crosswing markings.

Thanks Tony.
I have just seen a photo of an identical fly on a certain Tasmanian website I suspect you are familiar with.
Cheers
Margaret.
