User's notes

Interesting behaviour. They were all over Pultenaea foliolosa shrubs on the edge of the path - just one group. But none of the shrubs were in flower. They did alot of hovering beside and over, and most then landed on the leaves. Some accidentally? landed on other flies and they were both quick to bounce off. They were shiny on the back in the sun which was how I could see them, as they were quite small.
