We went on a hunt looking for Mydid flies and found these. They are an interesting fly that flies low to the ground landing under the shrubs or parallel on a small stick to hide. ~20mm

This beautiful fly moved a small distance and sat very still. It was hard to think it wasn't a stick. The wings were practically invisible. I took some photos and disturbed it. I thought it had landed on the other side of the track. When I looked closer at the fly I realised it was a different fly. The second fly had an extra spur on the wing veins.
Anomalomydas mackerrasi Thanks Torsten Dikow for confirmation on the species. 4 additional photos and comments in the first comment box.

It is nice to see these back again. They don't fly very high staying very close to low shrubbery. We have seen only 4 of these this year. I hope you find these Ron and Beth.
