Very interesting fly! Appears to be genus Ectenopsis, a pangoniine, but I would like a closer shot of the antennae. |

It looked familiar and it is, but I had to check: female Pseudotabanus distincta. The abdominal pattern and wing colouration fit superbly and the fly is known from Townsville. theo |
