A tiny unidentified fly with longitudinal irridescent blue areas between (parallel to) the wing veins, visible depending on the agle of view.
Observed on the leaf of a Brazilian button flower (Centratherum punctatum) growing in a large semi-urban yard & garden from a disturbed remnant patch of forest in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.

Thanks for the tip Tamar!
Perhaps something from Family Tephritidae? It reminds me of some of the Fruit Flies I have seen with the body shape and patterned wings.
