    Identification Please

    I need the help from the bush insect experts about this fly.
    I think that it is a Blue Fly, Black Garbage Fly or Dump Fly - Ophyra sp. or Neomyia sp. Family Muscidae but not sure.
    To give an idea of the size the perch is the leaf of a grevillea so the fly is about 6 mm dia. and 25mm long
    I appreciate your help

    Looks like a generic Dunny Budgie to me.

    Sorry Arthur not enough detail to tell. Doesn't look like a muscid on first impressions though...
