Odontomyia sp.
Medium sized fly with metallic flecks on thorax, pale green under abdomen, interesting pale blue halteres.
The tiny flowers of a local kunzea species have just appeared and are drawing the attention of many flying insects. In a local nature reserve.
Not 100% with Odontomyia but the green has been indicative in the past and others have gone the same way with this species.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
