Rhagadolyra magnicornis
A small fly with very short abdomen. Not very concerned with my activities... maybe a very fresh, dopey one. Exploring the stems of an acacia. About 12mm long.
In a local nature reserve.
"...Rhagadolyra is close to Sapromyza but the frons doesn't project in front of the eyes as much in the latter as seen here..." thanks to Tony D (BowerBird)

Also check Peter Chew's version with stripes and a pale abdomen !?http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_acalyptrata/LongAntennaLauxaniidFly.htm
Peter's 'Sapromyza occipitalis' actually looks exactly like this one http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
