Rutilia Fly

Description:

Large fly with green metallic (hairy) abdomen and grey thorax. The face is pale yellowish white and the eyes small. It has black legs and the wings are held diagonally, flat, out to the sides. Wings have black veins are brownish at the wing root

Habitat:

Possibly an Angophora. The fly would hover within a few feet of a spot that was obviously territory on the bark of a tree in a woodland

Notes:

to be researched File #fly ms 93. I caanot see which Rutilia fly but the wings seem the same and the scutulum and the habitat. The abdomen has a more metallic sheen and is narrower than the ones I looked at on Brisbane Insects site considering the grey thorax. Double check Tachnid
