 Can anyone suggest a family for this fly? Doesn't look like a dipteran, but it appears to have only two wings, and no halteres? Really small, less than a millimeter. Light trap, Townsville, Queensland.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
