birding-aus Anne Your fly is a Hypoboscid (spelling is probably incorrect) fly. Very common on birds and mammals. They are regularly encountered by banders while handling birds. I have been informed that they are largely species specific, ie the fly on a scrub-wren will be a different species to that on a robin, bowerbird, parrot, etc etc. I think they feed on feather debris. Will do a bit of research and get back to you, unless others have more specific information..
