Family Micropezidae
This stilt-legged fly appears like a wasp, holding its forelegs out to appear like antennae, which diptera usually hardly have.
This one is similar but the eyes don't match very well. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...

Nice find! The white front tarsi also help with the antennal illusion. Very neat.
