Melangyna viridiceps
A common Australian hoverfly. About 12mm long with a very flat, black and yellow banded abdomen.
Ubiquitous. Always searching for flowers.
These creatures are very difficult to capture in summer because they are so busy. As it is winter here the fly gave me a better opportunity by resting longer (maybe an effect of the cold?).
