I believe this is Therevidae. Can any one suggest a genera?

Hi Graeme, probably not much help but to perhaps further narrow this looks a male Chiromyzinae. I had a look at our last Australian review (Hardy 1924) and can't place genus/species with confidence but best match is a Hylorops sp. ?

Cheers
