About ten flies were very interested to perch on the bark of this tree. They flew away when disturbed and quickly returned. They were all 'looking down'
Tree trunk. Suburban park.
They were all looking down and may be the 'down looking fly, snipe fly, Rhagionidae.

I strongly suspect Tachinidae as well.
Rhagionidae ? (long legs, wing spots, narrow abdomen..?)
Tachinid? http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
