Can anyone suggest a family for this fly? Malaise trap, Townsville, Queensland.

Scatella (Ephydridae) - not able to take it much further without a specimen, but the additional pale patches towards the tip of the wing suggest septempunctata or septemfenestrata (which may turn out to be the same species - something I'm working on at the moment).

Thanks Tony. Neither of those species are listed on ALA.
